The Rimini WWF has joined the initiative of the FAN ASD Association and is waiting for you to free the beaches of the plastic.
Over 90% of the damage caused to marine wildlife is due to our plastic waste.
Globally, there are about 700 marine species threatened by plastics, of which 17% are listed as "threatened" or "endangered" by IUCN, including the Hawaiian monk seal, the Caretta caretta turtle and the sooty shearwater.
Entrapment, ingestion, contamination and transport of alien species are the main ways in which plastic puts at risk the marine species.
The marine species ingest plastic intentionally, accidentally or indirectly, feeding on prey that in turn had eaten plastic.
In the Mediterranean Sea, 134 species are victims of plastic ingestion, including 60 species of fish, 3 species of sea turtles, 9 species of seabirds and 5 species of marine mammals.
All species of sea turtles found in the Mediterranean present plastic in the stomach.
In the world, 700 marine species are threatened by plastic!
