Monitoring Mission in Librazhd – March 2026

Monitoring Mission in Librazhd – March 2026

 

As part of the BeMed+ project, a river monitoring mission following the OSPAR methodology was carried out in March 2026 in Librazhd.

The mission was led by the Agency of Sport and Tourism in Elbasan, in collaboration with the Municipality of Librazhd.

Results clearly show that plastic waste dominates, mainly drink bottles, highlighting the main sources of pollution.

The monitoring was accompanied by a river clean-up action, with the active participation of local youth councils, turning scientific monitoring into concrete action for the environment.

This mission is an important step towards awareness and community engagement for a cleaner Shkumbin River!
