731 tonnes of waste are dumped into the Mediterranean Sea every day and 95% of these are plastic. By 2050 the oceans could be inhabited more by plastic than by fish. Over 150 million tonnes of plastic have already been poured into the world’s seas. Until now, fishermen who bringing ashore waste collected risked substantial fines and of being accused of illegal waste trafficking, for this reason the Italian Parliament should approve the bill called SAVE THE SEA. The navy of San Benedetto del Tronto has been the largest fleet ever engaged in Italy in fishing aimed at combating marine pollution.
