Twenty or so participants, including several representatives of care centers, protected area managers and members of associations, met for a day of face-to-face and distance learning to discuss the impact of plastic pollution on the marine environment and the species that depend on it.
After presenting the LIFE SeaBiL project to the participants, UAL representative Marga Rivas outlined the various known consequences of plastic on living organisms. Discussions then turned to the constitution of the stranding network itself, the storage procedures and the protocols surrounding its operation. The debates were fruitful and rich in contributions.
Enrique Talledo, photographer and cameraman, member of the “Secretos del océano” association, then presented one of his documentary films, “un mar de plasticos”. With his camera in hand, Enrique captured a number of striking images, showing us the extent of the consequences of plastic pollution on the marine environment.
