Over 20 000 tons of marine litter is annually dumped into the North Sea. This makes marine litter one of the worst environmental problems in the North Sea region. The goal of the Save the North Sea project is to reduce marine litter by changing the attitudes and behaviour of the people using the area.

About the project

The Save the North Sea project focuses on the environmental issue of marine littering and its social, economic and ecological consequences.

What is marine litter?

Due to winds and currents, marine waste often ends up on our beaches. But what is actually marine litter? The most common material is plastics.
