On the 25th of October, 2024 REMARCO followed the invitation of Robertina Šebjanič, a contemporary artist of Ljubljana/Slovenia, to give a keynote about the situation of dumped legacies of war in the North Sea at the International Symposium “Ocean Around us – Echoes of the Abyss”. Here, scientist, artist, project managers as well as members of the state Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units of the Adriatic countries met to discuss innovative ways of engaging with the sea and to explore the complex human-ecological dynamics that affect marine ecosystems by e.g. the munitions disposal in our oceans.
Plans were sketched for future collaborations in order to transfer knowledge, concepts and methods developed in North and Baltic Sea regions in the context of monitoring and remediating munitions to the Adriatic region.
