The major new feature of 2026 is the strong environmental commitment developed together with scientific partners such as ISPRA and CNR-ISMAR.
Among the main initiatives will be the Clean Up “Litter Watch,” scheduled for Saturday, May 30 at 10:00 a.m. on Brussa Beach. Thanks to the collaboration with the European project TETHYS4ADRION, participants will contribute to the cleaning and scientific monitoring of a 100-meter stretch of beach through the protocol used by all European countries within the framework of the Marine Strategy.
All collected waste will be classified, and the data will be shared with the European Environment Agency as part of the Marine Litter Watch initiative.
The objective will not only be to remove plastic and scattered waste materials, but also to understand which types of waste reach the Adriatic coasts and how everyday behaviors contribute to marine pollution
