Clean Sea LIFE was an awareness-raising project that reduced marine litter along Italian coasts. The team involved 170 000 citizens and fishers who removed 112 tonnes of waste from the Mediterranean. The campaign reached around 34 million people on social media and national television. Their work inspired new Italian legislation to reduce and prevent marine litter. More than 20 000 people signed the project’s Pledge to the Sea.
