Bringing together the network of national organizations working to remove marine litter and monitor the results, the “Marine Litter Counter” shows us the impact we can achieve together. While the figures presented are just a sample of the total marine litter already collected in Portugal this year, it reflects the commitment of the organizations and volunteers who regularly dedicate their time to protecting the Ocean.
