Life Blue Lakes
The main goal of LIFE BLUE LAKES, a project financed by LIFE 2014–2020, is to reduce the amount of micro-plastics found in German and Italian lakes through an integrated approach which combines activities of governance, education, information and awareness raising.
One of the main tools of the project is the Carta del Lago, which involves Italy and Germany, and the five pilot areas: Lake Constance and the Bavarian Sea in Germany, and the Trasimeno, Garda and Bracciano lakes in Italy.
