Marlisco aimed to 1) raise public awareness about the consequences of common behaviour related to waste production and management in socio-ecological marine systems, 2) promote co-responsibility among involved actors, 3) define a more sustainable collective vision for the use of the ocean, and 4) facilitate grounds for concerted actions. It therefore facilitated a mutual mobilisation and learning process among key stakeholders from industry, science, society and end users in 15 European countries. This process included the development of an action plan to change societal attitudes and perceptions.
