Plastic waste pollution in marine environments is considered a major environmental problem in coastal areas. Relative environmental problems are also recorded in protected wetlands. The National Park of Amvrakikos Wetlands, one of the largest wetlands of Greece, is studied in order to evaluate the influence of plastic waste in the protected area and its surroundings, according to the stakeholders’ views. The survey applied using the method of census addressing the key stakeholders in the area of interest and the use of a questionnaire; the data analyzed with the Statistical Package SSPS. The main findings reveal that waste management is not considered satisfactory in the broader area. Marine litter, pollution, overfishing, ecosystem degradation, agriculture and livestock activities, as well as the insufficiency of the municipal solid waste management and recycling system are listed as the most important environmental problems of the coastal area. The stakeholders’ participation is regarded as crucial for effective decision making. Therefore, special strategies should be designed involving Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to widely address the local communities and increase their awareness on the problem in order to reduce plastic waste pollution. It should be noted that environmental conditions are closely affiliated with the citizens’ quality of life.

揭开塑料垃圾污染在希腊阿姆维拉科克斯湿地国家公园中的作用：利益相关者的观点

海洋环境中的塑料废物污染被认为是沿海地区的主要环境问题。在受保护的湿地中也记录了相对的环境问题。根据利益相关者的观点，对希腊最大的湿地之一的阿姆拉维奇科斯湿地国家公园进行了研究，以评估塑料废物对保护区及其周围地区的影响。使用普查方法对感兴趣的领域中的主要利益攸关方进行调查，并使用调查表；使用统计软件包SSPS分析的数据。主要发现表明，废物管理在更广泛的领域中并不令人满意。海洋垃圾，污染，过度捕捞，生态系统退化，农业和畜牧活动，以及城市固体废物管理和回收系统的不足是沿海地区最重要的环境问题。利益相关者的参与被认为是有效决策的关键。因此，应设计涉及信息和通信技术（ICT）的特殊策略，以广泛解决当地社区的问题，并提高他们对该问题的认识，以减少塑料废物污染。应当指出，环境条件与公民的生活质量紧密相关。应设计涉及信息和通信技术（ICT）的特殊策略，以广泛解决当地社区的问题并提高他们对这一问题的认识，从而减少塑料废物污染。应当指出，环境条件与公民的生活质量紧密相关。应设计涉及信息和通信技术（ICT）的特殊策略，以广泛解决当地社区的问题并提高他们对这一问题的认识，从而减少塑料废物污染。应当指出，环境条件与公民的生活质量紧密相关。
