On 4 November (11:00 - 13:30 CET) an online conference on 'Marine Litter in the Danube and the Black Sea region: Concrete Solutions from the Regions' will be hosted and moderated by Carmen Avram MEP. The event is co-organised by the European Parliament's Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup, the Balkan and Black Sea Commission of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR BBSC) and the International Centre for Black Sea Studies (ICBSS).
The conference will take the form of a moderated exchange with key regional, political, and private stakeholders from the Danube and Black Sea regions. The online meeting will also seek to promote inter-basin and knowledge exchange by presenting key takeaways and best practice from other sea basins of Europe. The aim of the event is to discuss and come up with tailored and concrete proposals to tackle marine litter in the region.
