Marine and carbon matters!
Κάπου 66,000 πλαστικά μπουκάλια, σακούλες, καλαμάκια και περιτυλίγματα μολύνουν τις παραλίες μας Η Κύπρος διαθέτει 69 παραλίες με Γαλάζια Σημαία και αυτό κάνει πιο επιτακτική την ανάγκη προστασίας της ακτογραμμής μας. Ερευνητές στο Πανεπιστήμιο Λευκωσίας ανέπτυξαν μια πρωτοποριακή μέθοδο για να εκτιμήσουν την έκταση του προβλήματος των πλαστικών στις ακτές του νησιού. Η ομάδα του εργαστηρίου Marine & Carbon Lab […]

UNIC study finds that approximately 66,000 plastic bottles, bags, straws, and food wrappings litter the shorelines of Cyprus. Endowed with 69 Blue Flag designated beaches, Cyprus needs to invest more in efforts to safeguard its coastlines. Researchers at the University of Nicosia have developed an innovative method to assess the extent of plastic pollution affecting the island’s shorelines, as part […]

Abstract Plastic debris in the marine environment is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Detailed knowledge of the abundance and geographical distribution of plastics across the world’s oceans can help better monitor, control and address the environmental hazards. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for the detection of plastic objects in the marine environment can help reveal […]
