PlastiStop II

The “Plastistop II” initiative is based on 4 axes:

  1. The organization of an awareness-raising campaign led by the Med ambassador trained during the first phase of the Plastistop initiative (funded by the 2016 BeMed call for micro initiatives). Educational workshops will be organized in primary and secondary schools.
  2. The organization of two events to raise awareness:
    1. – A cultural event called “the environment through art and culture” will be organized in the most touristic area of Djerba Island in summer 2018. The event will be composed of a puppet show as well as the viewing of films and short films on the marine plastic pollution problem and Mediterranean Sea conservation.
    1. – The organization of mountain bike trips to reach out to villages on market day and raise awareness about the use of plastic bags. During these days, traditional and locally produced “couffins” (traditional baskets) will be distributed.
  3. The organization of a clean-up campaign called “Expilots” on islets around Djerba. This awareness-raising campaign will include 6 excursions guided by the Med ambassador, an archaeologist and expert on marine environment, to highlight the history, the heritage, and the natural richness of these islets.
  4. The popularization of the android application “Marine Litter Watch” launched by the European Environment Agency to all local stakeholders. The users will be able to collect data on the field with their mobile phone and participate in the common effort to better understand the extent of the problem. The use of an international application will allow for a comparison with other Mediterranean areas.
