On the 1st of June, 5.30 pm, we are kicking off the SeaPaCS project at the Italian Naval League in Anzio (Riviera Zanardelli 38). Citizens are all invited to join the SeaPaCS team for a thrilling and tasty initiative of presentation and networking.
During the Scientific Aperitif, which represents the first of a series of events scheduled during the SeaPaCS project, information will be provided, through multimedia materials, on the most recent research relating to plastic pollution in the sea, and on the experience of various participants (fishermen, students, sports and environmental associations, video makers and photographers, local administrations and institutions).
We will produce self-produced monitoring and sampling tools, show the video “In search of plastic. Sampling plastic at sea” and enjoy the photographic exhibitions entitled “Anzio under the sea. Resistant Ecologies of the Mediterranean” and “Explorations of the Plastisphere. New hybrid ecologies of the Mediterranean”. Participation is free.
The provisional schedule of the apertif includes:
Federico Fornaro and local representatives: Welcome greetings
Chiara Certomà: presentation of SeaPaCS project
Luisa Galgani: Plastic and microplastic in the sea: where are we now?
Video “In search of plastic. Sampling plastic at sea”
