The training of the first networks for the acquisition of data in the municipalities of Itajaí and Bombinhas already has a date set.
This is an important stage, where we introduce the problem of microplastics in a conceptual way and present the methodology. At this stage, we work with the community living in the region and map environmental pressures with managers.
After training, the network becomes able to collect data on the occurrence, distribution and abundance of microplastics.
Here below I show an example of how we can present this data.
This work was carried out over 10 months in Cape Verde, and one of the results was the difference in the composition of the waste on each sampled beach. This work will be repeated in 4 municipalities along the coast of Santa Catarina on 9 beaches.
