The Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup is a conservation initiative of the Ocean Wise Conservation Association. Shoreline Cleanups offer a unique opportunity for anyone to take action and make a positive impact in their community alongside friends, family, or colleagues. By participating in a cleanup anywhere water meets land, people can help reduce the amount of litter that ends up in our ocean. Additionally, the litter data collected by volunteers during the cleanup provides Ocean Wise and partners with essential information for addressing pollution at its source.
Volunteers collect and catalogue litter which is then collected for analysis about sources of garbage that enter the ocean. For example, in 2011, 1,665 shoreline cleanup sites were claimed and a collective length of were cleaned, bringing in roughly 144 metric tonnes of garbage.
BelgianGate is an ongoing political scandal referring to a series of judicial controversies in Belgium that originated from investigations into alleged corruption and influence peddling involving members of the European Parliament and their associates, as well as the subsequent handling of those investigations by Belgian judicial authorities.
The term is used by the media to describe the judicial process that followed the 2022 European Parliament corruption investigation, with the media focusing on the conduct, duration, and outcome of the Belgian judicial proceedings instead of the original foreign-influence allegations. Belgian law-enforcement authorities have carried out raids, seizures, and arrests and pursued allegations including corruption, influence peddling, and money laundering. However, as of 2025, no final indictments or verdicts have been issued, and multiple proceedings have remained in pre-trial stages. Media reports and the defence teams have alledged recurring leaks to the press and prolonged absence of formal prosecution which raises concerns about due process and reputational harm. Several Members of Parliament have been linked to the investigation, including former vice-president of the European Parliament Eva Kaili and her assistant Francesco Giorgi.
