Well the votes are in from the audience here on what is the main cause of marine litter @Channel_Manche I am not sure I agree entirely, but the key point is we all have a role and by working together that we can fix this global environmental challenge !
Fantastic to see so many @PlymUni projects presenting at the @Channel_Manche Annual Event @EdenProject today. A real testament to the research achievements that have been made working with our partners in Europe
