The collected microplastics will provide clues to identify their origin, find the densest concentrations of microplastics and target them. This will help us to fight the microplastic problem at its sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Barcelona,&nbsp;<em>Tara<\/em>&nbsp;will present the new mission to journalists, stakeholders, schools and public authorities to raise awareness of this increasing threat and the reasons we need to preserve the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stopover is also an opportunity to discover the interdisciplinary research of EMBL, major partner of the Tara missions and the place where the idea for Tara Oceans (2009\u20132013) was born.
