Getting to zero pollution in European seas may seem impossible, so how do we go about this?
Kathrin Kopke from MaREI at University College Cork introduces the ambitious Source to Seas – Zero Pollution 2030 project and partners in this video below.
‘Source to Seas – Zero Pollution 2030 (SOS-ZEROPOL2030)’ aims to develop a holistic zero pollution framework which can guide the process towards achieving zero pollution in European seas by 2030. Marine contamination (including pollution) occurs as a direct result of human activities on both; land and in the marine environment; and requires urgent attention as healthy and clean seas provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g. food, oxygen production, climate regulation), which are critical for our survival and wellbeing.
