PRESENTATION DOSSIER
International Forum on Marine
  Litter and Circular Economy
          MARLICE 2019

MARLICE 2019

MARINE LITTER        is a man-made solid waste which, for various reasons, ends
up abandoned in marine and coastal environments. It is estimated that 80% of
marine waste comes from land-based sources.

Marine litter represents a GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE. The
Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the Convention on Biological
Diversity of United Nations consider marine litter one of the greatest threats to
marine biodiversity.

Connectivity through ocean currents makes this a         TRANSBOUNDARY
PROBLEM which needs cooperation among countries.

MARLICE 2019

            ARE WE IN TIME TO SOLVE IT?

The complexity of the problem and its global nature requires coordination and
involvement from various sectors of society: scientists, governments, industry
and productive sector, consumers, non-governmental entities...

The development of a    CIRCULAR ECONOMY             is a priority strategy to
achieve a solution.

MARLICE 2019

WHAT IS THE AEBAM?
The SPANISH ASSOCIATION OF MARINE LITTER was founded with the goal of
unifying efforts of public and private institutions concerned about marine litter in order to
improve and speed up ranges of work that will improve the management of this problem.

Its FOUNDATIONAL CHALLENGES include encouraging forums that bring together
different sectors to define criteria for action and establish common route lines.

AEBAM has actively participated in different consultative processes for the development
and implementation of European regulations in this regard: Programme of measures of the
Spanish marine strategies, Marine litter reduction: actions on single-use plastics and fishing
gear, Microplastics, Citizen Decalogue Against Marine Litter, etc.

WHY THIS INTERNATIONAL FORUM?
It is necessary to attract interest on the problem of marine litter of the European
and international regions to improve the    KNOWLEDGE OF THE
PROBLEM at transnational level and to explore RECOVERY ROUTES of
natural areas and waste, within the framework of the CIRCULAR
ECONOMY concept.

The strategic situation of Spain between two European regional seas makes it a
privileged area for the development of a constructive discussion meeting in the
SEARCH FOR COMMON SOLUTIONS.

          DYNAMICS OF THE FORUM
Several  HUBS OF ACTIVITY           will be established amongst different sectors to
articulate CONFERENCES,               ORAL       COMMUNICATIONS                 AND
WORKING GROUPS.
Generation of open dynamics based on multidisciplinary working groups will enable
to produce a framework document of conclusions to enrich policies already initiated
at European and international level in the field of marine litter and to boost possible
markets derived from the     PROCESSES OF UPCYCLING through DIRECT
CONTACT between stakeholders of different nationalities.

MARLICE 2019

SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
