What is RC3S

Since the beginning of 2019, Regional Capacity Centre for Clean Seas (RC3S) has been putting together programmes and activities to accomplish its function of becoming a hub for strengthening capacity building in the field of protection of the marine environment from land-based activities, particularly nutrients, wastewater and marine litter/microplastics.

The success of RC3S’s programmes and activities in the past year became a notable modality for RC3S to realize its activities in 2020. While being at the early stages, RC3S has organized forums, capacity building and awareness raising activities – nationally and internationally, as well as cultivated solution model to combat marine pollution from land-based activities. For this year, activities will be focused on strengthening the 2019 results and achievements, while incorporating improvements. Moreover, activities in 2020 will also be adjusted accordingly with the ongoing concerns about COVID-19 pandemic.
