Global Marine Forum tackles pollution in Bizerte
The ninth edition of the Global Sea Forum kicked off in Bizerte under the slogan "For a Clean Mediterranean Sea without Plastic Waste," as part of the "Partnership for the Mediterranean" (share4med) project managed by the European Union through the Interreg NEXT MED program. The project, funded with 1.1396 million euros and extending until January 2028, aims to support local and joint initiatives to protect the Mediterranean Sea from plastic pollution, which threatens marine life and economic activities. Statistics indicate that Egypt disposes of an average of 250,000 tons of plastic waste annually, with pollution levels reaching up to 1.25 million plastic particles per square kilometer in certain areas. This pollution traps hundreds of marine species and threatens the survival of future generations. The numbers emphasize that individual actions alone are insufficient, highlighting the importance of collective participation and the technological solutions provided by the project, especially in the countries on the southern coast of the Mediterranean.
