Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
The main objective of the Life4MarPiccolo project is the ecological restoration of Mar Piccolo in Taranto, through the recovery of a contaminated portion of the seabed and seawater.
Specific project objectives are to:
Restore approx. 3 000 square metres of the basin using a purification pilot plant, based on membrane microfiltration, to reduce contamination of PCBs, PAHs and heavy metals on the seabed and, consequently, in the water column above - reaching concentrations within the limits set by existing national and Community legislation;
Provide the authorities in charge of the basin with tools for the sustainable management of marine areas, with the help of an intervention protocol for the environmental recovery of Italian and European coastal marine sites with pollution problems similar to those of the Mar Piccolo; and to define a diagnostic kit for assessing the quality of marine waters.
