Gökova Plastic Pollution Action and Awareness Project

Akdeniz Koruma Dernegi

The objective is to tackle plastic pollution in the Gökova environmental protection zone through litter monitoring, awareness-raising, and regional cooperation for lasting impact. The main activities include monitoring plastic pollution by collecting and analyzing microplastics and implementing long-term tracking systems.

Awareness and community involvement will be promoted through workshops for children and locals, citizen participation in data collection, and distribution of educational materials. Additionally, regional cooperation will be strengthened by organizing stakeholder roundtables and developing partnerships with other Mediterranean countries.
