Impact of Microplastics on marine organisms1- transport of persistent, bioaccumulating and toxic (PBT) substances from plastics2- leaching of additives from the plastics such as phthalates3- physical harm (Wright, et al. 2013)4- phatogens ?
Microplastics

2014 project UfM preparation

A crucial aspect of the marine litter issue, underlined by the Barcelona Convention within the Regional Plan for Marine Litter (Istanbul 2013) is that :
"Marine pollution knows no border, pollution in one country affects all other 21 countries, hence there is a need for a regional approach”

Plastic have no border!

Plastic Busters on basin scale
Plastic Busters is the first project at basin scale that binds the Southern and
Northern Mediterranean countries on the issue of Marine Litter
![Page 18: ISCN 2016: Plenary 2: Leadership for Managing a Changing Planet](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011722/58f15de41a28abc72e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The project will enable to assess the amount, sources, pathways, distribution convergence areas and effects of marine litter (in indicator organisms), and mitigate
and reduce the impact of marine litter in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Plastic Busters project is strongly linked to Ecological Objective 10 (Marine Litter) of the UNEP/MAP Ecosystem Approach and Descriptor 10 (Marine Litter) of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive: monitoring and reducing the presence and
impact of marine litter in the marine environment to reach GES by 2020.
The main objectives and activities focus on:
a) addressing the marine litter related knowledge gaps via monitoring; harmonized methods (UNEP/MAP laboratories)
b) developing and implementing concrete actions to prevent, reduceIdentify concentration areas and remove marine litter;
c) actions to enhance the awareness of stakeholders and catalyze change in their perceptions and attitudes towards waste.

STEP1 – Model-based prediction of plastic debris accumulation areas to design sampling activities, using information mapping
STEP 3 - Detecting the effects of marine litter on marine trophic webs and fishery resources
STEP 4 - Investigating the impacts of plastics on human health
STEP 2 - Monitoring the presence and effects of plastic debris in marine ecosystems (sampling expedition) - GIS Mapping (Hot Spots)

Lead UNEP/MAPUNEP/MAP ECAP Indicators
1.Trends in the amount of litter washed ashore and/or deposited on coastlines (including analysis of its composition, spatial distribution and, where possible, source.) (EO10);
2. Trends in the amount of litter in the water column including microplastics and on the seafloor (EO10);
3. Candidate Indicator: Trends in the amount of litter ingested by or entangling marine organisms focusing on selected mammals, marine birds and marine turtles (EO10);
WP4- Implementation of the Regional Plan
![Page 26: ISCN 2016: Plenary 2: Leadership for Managing a Changing Planet](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011722/58f15de41a28abc72e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Youth as powerful agents of change in society, not only because they represent the next generation of consumers and decision ‐
makers but often they can inspire and influence directly the behaviour of their
families and even their close communities.
WP5- Educational activities targeted to youth & educators (Task Leader: MIO-ECSDE)
