MAELSTROM: Microplastics Assessment in Sediment, Mussel Farm 2023-2024 (Post-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.
Monitoring also focused on surface sediments with the main objective of assessing the correlation between macro-litter removal and changes in MP concentrations in sediments.

Post-cleaning microplastic monitoring was carried out using a combination of established methods and additional techniques to improve the sensitivity of the analysis.
Sampling and analysis of microplastics in sediment samples were performed according to the protocol described in Frias et al. (2018), Vianello et al. (2013) and JPI Oceans protocol (2018). This methodology ensures a standardised approach to collection, processing and analysis, minimising the possibility of contamination and ensuring comparable results.
Sampling took place in 2023 (March and October) and 2024 (March and August).
