Beach cleant? Only if contains less than 20 marine wastes every 100 metres

Less than 20 marine litter per 100 linear meters of coastline is the value to be considered a beach in good environmental condition. It is the threshold value or the reference target fixed at European level, and recently published by the EU Commission, to define a clean beach. 
An ambitious target in particular for Euro-Mediterranean countries where the concentrations of beached litter are markedly higher than those of other European seas (Mediterranean: 274 objects / 100 m; Baltic Sea: 40 objects / 100 m; Black Sea: 104 objects / 100 m). In Italy, the median values ​​in the three sub-regions are 559 objects / 100m in the Adriatic Sea, 421 objects / 100m in the western Mediterranean and 271 objects / 100m in the Ionian and central Mediterranean.
