PLUS3 CLEAN UP – NP KORNATI
As part of the project Plus3 in National park Kornati small clean up was organised in July 2020. Single use plastic waste is a big threat to marine life. Our clean ups are just a small part on the way to preservation and establishment of clean marine environment.
In cooperation with NP Kornati and Blue bag project we collected: island Tovarnjak 40 kg, island Kornat-Blue bay 182 kg, island Smokvenjak 30 kg, island Kornat-Zakrče bay 70 kg, island Mana 25 kg and on island Lavsa 15 kg of marine debris.
Prevailing plastic waste are: plastic bags, lids, packagings, shoes, toothbrushes, lighters, fishing gear and ropes. Worrying amount of micro plastics was found in deep bays on the islands.
With nine volunteers from Nomoreplastic NGO with a team from NP Kornati we collected 362 kg of plastic waste.
Great closure of our clean up was a workshop under the supervision of Maja from Smetumet. Some great pieces of “trash art” was made from marine debris again.
