The goal of the Plastic Pirates in Belgium (VLIZ) is to set up and manage a long-term local project partnership between experts (VLIZ) and local schools, for riverine and coastal litter observations. It includes leading teachers’ training, and sampling campaigns with local schools, synchronised with other Belgian and European partners, to manage data validation and submission (open access), and to coordinate local data analysis and communication tasks. The project collects data to inform policymakers and the public about plastic pollution and provide educational materials to help teachers integrate it into their curricula.
","AbstractOtherLang":"Het doel van de Plastic Piraten in België (VLIZ) is het opzetten en beheren van een lokaal langetermijnprojectpartnerschap tussen VLIZ-experts en plaatselijke scholen voor het observeren van zwerfvuil in rivier- en kustwateren. Dit omvat het leiden van training van leerkrachten en bemonsteringscampagnes met lokale scholen, gesynchroniseerd met andere Belgische en Europese partners, om beheren van gegevensvalidatie en -indiening (open toegang), en het coördineren van lokale gegevensanalyse en communicatie taken. Het project verzamelt gegevens om beleidsmakers en het publiek te informeren over plasticvervuiling en biedt educatief materiaal om leerkrachten te helpen dit te integreren in hun curricula.
