The 5th International Symposium on Marine Sciences was held during this 20-22 July at Alicante University.
300 participants discussed the effects of marine plastic pollution, mining and climate change.
During this event, Andrés Cózar explained : “When we compared the measurements in the Mediterranean with the ones we took in each one of the gyres, including the much-discussed North Pacific Gyre, we saw that the average concentrations were similar to those in the Mediterranean".
