WP2_2.4_CIIMAR_CleanOceanDayData_V1_30032026

Report with details of the Clean Ocean Day events organized in the five countries and with data on marine litter collected on Clean Ocean Day. The Clean Ocean Day occurs on a standard fishing day, and the litter is separated into litter produced on board (including domestic and operational litter) and litter passively collected by the fishing gears. Quantification and classification of the litter (e.g., plastic, iron, glass, other) was done to assess the quantity and type of litter produced by fishing vessels versus that retrieved from the ocean. The events were organized in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Malta.
