The BEACH LITTER MONITORING APP, developed by Infordata in collaboration with Venice Lagoon Plastic Free (VLPF), has been highlighted on the website of the BlueMissionMed project, an EU initiative focused on restoring oceans and waters by 2030. This acknowledgment underscores the app’s innovative approach to combating marine litter pollution and its alignment with the mission’s objectives.
BlueMissionMed is dedicated to creating an innovation ecosystem to tackle pollution in the Mediterranean basin. It builds on existing initiatives, connecting stakeholders from policy, business, research, and civil society to deliver impactful solutions. The BEACH LITTER MONITORING APP plays a significant role in this context, providing an advanced platform to collect and manage data on marine litter. This multi-functional app integrates cloud technology and supports both automated data collection via drones and manual input from community activities like beach clean-ups. It generates data compatible with EMODnet, demonstrating its contribution to EU-wide environmental monitoring efforts.
Developed over four years as part of the H2020 MAELSTROM and HEU REMEDIES projects, the app exemplifies collaborative innovation for environmental restoration. The recognition on the BlueMissionMed website highlights its importance in achieving cleaner oceans and sustainable ecosystems.
