Plasticus maritimus (English edition)

When Ana was a child, she would play on the beach. Gradually, she noticed a new species becoming more common along the shore: plastic.

Ana trained as a marine biologist and began collecting plastics. She even gave the new species a scientific name of its own: Plasticus maritimus. Since then, she has started a project to raise awareness of this issue.

Based on Ana’s story, this book contains information on the relationship between plastic and the oceans, including a practical guide for collecting and analysing samples of this species on the beach.

The main goal: to inspire action.

Every hour, one thousand tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans. 
That’s the equivalent of a large lorry full of plastic each minute! 
It’s about time we do something about it.
