Activit�s de terrainSince 2019, the work on marine and other coastal litter has been focused on coastal cleanup events, including its gamification, using e.g. the Clean Games concept.

Specifically, CCB took an active part in the first session of the INC to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, which took place in November-December. More information about CCB participation is available on CCB´s website with two articles published on 30 November 2022 and 12 December 2022. We were also involved in HELCOM work on hazardous substances throughout the year.

For the coastal cleanp events, the following 2022 results were reported: Finland, Kajaani: 2 games; 368 participants; 795.74 kg of garbage; Estonia: 3 games; 284 participants; 1,9 tons.

In Latvia, the Member Organisation Latvian Green Movement, organized a CoastWATCH with 9 schools in October 2022 and the 3rd Coastal Youth Forum. The CCB Coastal Watching Days took place in October 2022. The CCB Maritime Working Area members prepared a questionnaire for the event. It could be filled out while walking along the shore and it didn't require any special knowledge, so everyone could join.
