Scientific, societal and pedagogical approaches to tackle the impact of climate change on marine pollution

Abstract Marine pollution impacts coastal nations around the world, and more so: (a) in confined maritime areas with significant marine traffic, (b) where exploitation of natural and mineral resources is taking place, or (c) in regions witnessing pressure from tourism, local population growth, and i...
