Will be held on July 9 from 9 onwards, the 1st Edition of the PLASTIC SOCKS BUSTERS Campaign, organized as part of the project action which aims to involve citizens, residents, tourists and economic operators.

Among the specific objectives of the project there is also the desire to sensitize the general public and some target groups already identified, regarding the protection of the marine environment from pollution caused by plastic waste and in particular by retinas.

The awareness initiative is dedicated to tourists and tour operators in the two pilot areas envisaged by the project: Liguria (LA Spezia) Puglia (North of the Gargano) and will be repeated every year until 2025.

The rules of the game

The participants involved will be divided into teams and will compete in a special cleaning of the beach. In fact, the members of the group that will count the highest number of nets for mussel farming among the waste collected will receive surprise prizes among our gadgets.

The appointment

The meeting point will be at the stand dedicated to the project on the promenade Costantino Morin in La Spezia (SP) and then all together we will leave from the Tourist Port to reach the beach identified on the Island of Palmaria.
