How we provided support
Together instead of alone: Art, science and the local community were brought together to actively combat marine plastic and promote community building.
The project is part of the EU initiative "PartArt4OW" within the framework of Horizon Europe and brings together citizens, artists and scientists to jointly develop solutions against marine pollution.
