Blue Panda Week 2021

Written By Orla-Peach Power

We would like to congratulate our REPSONSE research partners at CNR-IAS on their successful participation in the ‘Blue Panda Week 2021’ research trip along the Marine Protected Area of ​​Portofino (Genoa). CNR-IAS were on board the World Wildlife Fund’s ‘Blue Panda’ research vessel on the 28th of June for their ‘Plastic Free Day’ citizen science event, analysing and sorting microplastic samples that were collected from the Bay of Paraggi using innovative mini-manta nets that were pulled by kayaks!
