Presentation

The RP - MP project is part of a context where plastic pollution affects almost all marine and coastal environments. While some of its origins are known, the cycle of microplastic pollution at the land-sea interface is not well understood. Monitoring and mapping work are essential to understand the origins and sources of these microplastics. In-depth knowledge on the subject, along with public participation, will contribute to raising awareness and enriching communication about it.

Objectives

• Dynamic mapping of microplastic concentrations in the sediments of various pilot sites in Brittany
• Communication and awareness-raising among the population about the origins and sources of microplastics at the land-sea interface
• Promoting participatory research and collaboration between the scientific community and civil society
