The first field campaign of the TETHYS4ADRION project was carried out at the Alfeios River in March 2025. The initiative focuses on cross-border collaboration to reduce riverine plastic pollution in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas (project link). As part of the campaign, a camera system was installed to monitor floating plastics, and orthophoto maps were generated using UAV imagery and photogrammetry. In addition to tracking plastic debris flowing to ward the sea, the team will also engage with local stakeholders to help minimize plastic waste entering the water bodies.
