据突尼斯非洲新闻社(TAP)本周四(27日)发布的消息，世界自然基金会北非-突尼斯组织启动了“领养地中海海滩”计划。目的是监测和收集海洋垃圾的数据，提高人们对地中海塑料污染的认识。

The campaign is a collaboration between WWF offices in Tunisia, Greece, and Turkey, three Mediterranean countries. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is dedicated to preserving the environment.

该活动由世界自然基金会在突尼斯、希腊和土耳其这三个地中海国家的办事处合作开展。世界自然基金会(WWF)致力于保护环境。

The program will encourage volunteers, schools, and organizations to adopt beaches to monitor waste emissions and collect data on the waste found. The information will form a regional platform for combating plastic waste pollution.

该计划将鼓励志愿者、学校和组织通过领养海滩来监测废物排放并收集发现的废物数据。这些信息将形成一个打击塑料废物污染的区域平台。

The campaign was already launched in Greece in 2021 and expanded to Turkey and Tunisia. In two years, groups of volunteers adopted 149 beaches and collected over 185,000 pieces of litter along approximately 15,000 meters of coastline.

该活动已于2021年在希腊启动，并扩展到土耳其和突尼斯。在两年的时间里，志愿者们收集了149个海滩，并在大约1.5万米的海岸线上收集了18.5万多件垃圾。

Most of the garbage collected on Greek beaches was plastic; 84%. Half of the trash found consisted of cigarette butts, small pieces of plastic, straws, bottle caps, and small pieces of polystyrene.

希腊海滩上收集到的大部分垃圾都是塑料，占84%。发现的垃圾中有一半是烟头、小块塑料、吸管、瓶盖和小块聚苯乙烯。

According to WWF, Tunisia is one of the Mediterranean countries most affected by plastic pollution.

据世界自然基金会称，突尼斯是受塑料污染影响最严重的地中海国家之一。
