MAELSTROM: Microplastics Assessment in Bivalves, Sacca Fisola 2022 (Pre-cleaning Survey)
As part of the European MAELSTROM project, microplastic monitoring was carried out to assess the impact of marine cleaning operations. The study focused on two representative sites: Sacca Fisola, within the Venice Lagoon, characterised by high maritime traffic, and Mussel Farm, a coastal area near Cavallino-Jesolo, a former mussel farm.
Both sites were monitored every six months and divided into before and after cleaning activities performed by the Seabed Robotic Cleaning Platform (autumn 2022 and spring 2023 for the Sacca Fisola site and spring 2023 for the Mussel Farm site). This innovative robotic system has been designed to remove macro-litter from the seabed.
Among the matrices analysed, particular attention was paid to bivalves, which are used as bio-indicators. Several species, including Mytilus galloprovincialis, Magallana gigas and Ostreola stentina, were sampled to monitor the accumulation of microplastics (MP) in them. The main objective of the study was to assess whether the removal of macrolitter resulted in a reduction of microplastics in the environment.

The data were collected by CNR-ISMAR in Venice at the Sacca Fisola site as part of the European MAELSTROM project. Sacca Fisola, located in the Venice lagoon, is characterised by a high level of anthropic activity linked to maritime traffic and the periodic maintenance of barges and briccole by Veritas operators.
During the pre-cleaning phase, bivalves were sampled in two different periods: in February 2022 the species Mytilus galloprovincialis, while in November 2022 the species Magallana gigas and Ostreola stentina.
