ISLANDS: STANDARD BEARERS FOR CLEAN OCEANS

The I International Forum on Marine Litter and Circular Economy on Islands Environment will be held in Puerto de la Cruz on the Island of Tenerife (Canary Islands) on March 7 and 8, 2023. This is the First International Forum on Marine Litter and Circular Economy in Island Environments.

Islands suffer from ocean pollution in a particular way as they are potential transit zones for large ocean currents laden with macro and micro marine litter. On the other hand, reducing their role as a potential source of marine litter is a challenge that requires specific solutions. A future of clean oceans requires islands free of marine litter, which is why MARLICE ISLANDS 2023 was created.

MARLICE ISLANDS addresses the problem of marine litter from the singularity of isolated territories, seeking solutions on a local scale and bringing together experiences, studies and policies on islands in different seas and oceans of the planet.

MARLICE ISLANDS 2023 arises after the second edition of the MARLICE Forum, and is promoted by the Government of the Canary Islands in coordination with AEBAM.

MARLICE is an international participatory forum promoted by the Spanish Marine Litter Association (AEBAM) in which civil society, the productive sector, research and public administration align strategies to achieve litter-free oceans.
