The project aims to create an innovative database that can be easily consulted also by public bodies in which to verify in real time the state of pollution present in the sea and on land (since a lot of waste comes from there) and all this will be possible by involving citizens in from the point of view of citizens of science.
Once a highly polluted area has been identified, our task will be to have this waste removed and in case of marine pollution we will also carry out analyzes of the microplastics present in the area and of the water quality in order to use the application also as a source of data. All this going to involve the universities present on the coast or that deal with the study of the ocean.
