Description

Developed as part of the Marine Litter Repair project (ML-REPAIR), this geo-database aims to increase the knowledge of the environmental status of five selected Natura 2000 sites in Italy and Croatia in relation to Marine Litter (ML) and Abandoned, lost or other discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) through monitoring activities. The geo-database contains information about the amount, distribution and typology of ML and ALDFG in those five sites.
