Interreg Cooperation Day Clean-Up in Madeira
The Madeira Regional Directorate for the Environment and Climate Action is organizing a clean-up campaign from September 21 to 29, 2024, inviting residents and volunteers to take part in cleaning the Porto da Cruz seafront from 9 AM to 1 PM.
This event aligns with International Coastal Cleanup Day and Interreg Cooperation Day 2024, aiming to highlight European efforts to break down physical and mental borders.
The clean-up is part of the Free LitterAT project, supported by Interreg Atlantic Area, which focuses on preventing and reducing litter in coastal communities. Volunteers will help raise awareness about micro-litter, such as lost fishing gear and plastic debris.
Led by Centro Tecnológico del Mar (CETMAR) in Galicia, Spain, Free LitterAT is a partnership of 14 organizations from France, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain, all working to combat marine litter through prevention, monitoring, and clean-up efforts.
