EPISODE 2 IN EN: The new lives of marine litter

Описание: Episode 2 - English translation

We travel around Greece and delve into the concept of the "Blue Economy" and its various sectors, such as fishing, aquaculture, marine tourism, and port infrastructure. These sectors can play a crucial role in tackling marine plastic pollution.

In this Second Episode, we travel to Santorini, where we explore an innovative circular economy initiative. Here, fishing gear, instead of being abandoned on the seabed, is collected by Aegean Rebreath's Marine Liter Collection Stations and repurposed by the Blue Cycle enterprise to create new design objects.

Participants (in alphabetical order):
Elia Nikitopoulou | Development Manager of Blue Cycle, Elias Demian | Head of Environmental Economics Unit of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), Kyriakos Prekas | President of Santorini fishing association, George Sarelakos | Head of Aegean Rebreath.
