Mere og mere affald ender i verdenshavene og skader økosystemerne, slår dyrene ihjel og udgør en risiko for menneskers sundhed. Løsningen skal findes i affaldsforebyggelse og bedre affaldshåndtering til lands.

Baseret på data

Plastic Debris in the World’s Oceans Solid materials, typically waste, that has found its way to the marine environment is called marine debris. It is probably a common conception that marine debris consists of just a few pieces of rubbish scattered along the strand line of beaches and is of no harm to anyone. Unfortunately this is not the case. Marine debris has become a pervasive pollution problem affecting all of the world’s oceans. It is known to be the cause of injuries and deaths of numerous marine animals and birds, either because they become entangled in it or they mistake it for prey and eat it. Plastic and synthetic materials are the most common types of marine debris and cause the most problems for marine animals and birds. At least 267 different species are known to have suffered from entanglement or ingestion of marine debris including seabirds, turtles, seals, sea lions, whales and fish.

Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded ﬁshing gear Fishing gear has been lost, abandoned or otherwise discarded in all seas and oceans ever since fishing began. The extent and impacts of the problem have increased significantly over the last 50 years with the increasing levels of fishing effort and capacity in the world’s oceans and the increasing durability of fishing gear. Fishing activity has now extended to previously untouched offshore and deep-sea environments, which are often very sensitive to the impacts of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG).

How does it work?

Organising clean-up events

European citizens to help tackle marine litter Litter, plastics in particular, is accumulating in our seas and coasts mainly due to current unsustainable consumption and production patterns, poor waste management and the lack of public awareness. Marine litter is an increasing threat to the marine environment, to human health and our well-being. It has cross border impacts on wildlife and habitats. Without tackling marine litter, Europe cannot have healthy seas.

Affald i havene Ca. 70 % af vores planet er dækket af hav, og havaffald findes næsten overalt. Havaffald, især plast, udgør en trussel, ikke blot mod vores haves og kysters sundhed, men også mod vores økonomi og vores lokalsamfund. Det meste havaffald skabes ved landbaserede aktiviteter. Hvordan kan vi standse affaldsstrømmen ud i havene? Det bedste sted at begynde at tackle dette globale, marine problem, er på land.
