United under the motto “It’s not water, it’s more (sea)” Sunce<\/strong> and Biotherm<\/strong> collected 400 kilograms of marine litter near Trogir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Pantan Beach<\/strong> near Trogir <\/strong>on October 19, 2023, more than 50 participants collected 400 kilograms of marine litter. Car tires, construction, and agricultural waste, footwear, various types of metal, glass, and even a sofa, and most different plastic items were removed as part of the “It’s not water, it’s more” cleaning action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to threatening the ecological balance, marine litter also has serious consequences for human health, the economy, and the sustainability of natural resources.\u00a0The clean-up action aims to raise awareness of the numerous threats and negative impacts of pollution on marine ecosystems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Pantan Beach is a marshy habitat for many birds, so much plastic is a concern. Birds can become entangled in various types of plastic items such as plastic bags, wrappers, fishing nets, and other types of waste. Incidents like this often result in injuries to birds, including injuries to their wings, legs, or beaks, which can seriously affect their ability to survive in the wild. \u2013 said the organizer Tea Kuzmi\u010di\u0107 Rosandi\u0107<\/strong>, Sunce\u2019s expert associate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent decades, awareness of the importance of bird conservation around the world has been continuously growing as thousands of birds and their habitats are at risk. Since September 2018, the LIFE<\/strong> Artina project \u2013 “Seabird Conservation Network in the Adriatic<\/strong><\/a>” has been underway. The project has an ambitious purpose \u2013 to understand and assess the key negative impacts affecting seabird populations and intends to help declare new marine conservation areas significant to birds (Special Protection Area \u2013 SPA<\/strong><\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our Adriatic birds \u2013 Yelkouan Shearwater, Audouin\u00b4s Gull, and Scopoli\u00b4s Shearwater \u2013 face numerous threats, including the presence of marine litter<\/strong>. However, we are pleased that we have released at least a small part of the protected area of nature from waste. \u2013 concluded Kuzmi\u010di\u0107 Rosandi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Waste pollution of all types of water is a global problem, so Biotherm needs to invest in such actions. As part of this joint mission Biotherm and Sunce in 2022<\/a>, for the first time, acted to remove marine litter from beaches and sea, and in 2023, this joint mission continues. Locally, we want to contribute to a global goal because we believe that the beauty industry can, and should, have a positive impact on our seas. \u2013 said Enrica Duki\u0107<\/strong>, Biotherm PR, Community and Digital Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 As of this year, Biotherm has raised its bar of sustainability. Biotherm recycling units can be found in selected M\u00fcller locations in Split, Zagreb, Rijeka, and Zadar. Bring empty packaging of any brand or product and recycle it in the Biotherm recycling unit to take care of nature and the environment. In addition, each recycling is rewarded. Becoming Ocean Positive<\/em> is not something that can happen overnight; we need to work to always be better compared to what we were yesterday. \u2013 said Ana Kova\u010di\u0107<\/strong>, Biotherm Product Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants were educated about seabirds and marine conservation at Kozjak, near the Mountain Lodge Mala\u010dka, and at Pantan they learned how long certain objects take to decompose in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we are building a world where the sea and its protection remain our greatest ally and most prized gift. United in caring for Croatia’s marine habitats and the birds that inhabit them, we have the power to bring about positive change. Every action, no matter how small, has a major impact on the preservation of our environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
