“…In this way the ecological constraint is changed into a communication opportunity. Although for conservation reasons the cleaning will be concentrated in non-breeding periods, talk about endangered species will motivate citizens and let them understand that cleaning actions are effective conservation measures for these species; e.g., sand dune-nesting birds that can be trapped by some stranded debris, such as fishing lines and hooks [31].…”

Clean-ups can be considered real conservation actions since beach litter may impact many ecosystem components. However, although these actions are quite easy to carry out, we think that they need to follow specific criteria and clear planning. Contrariwise, an unplanned clean-up could lead to counter-productive—or even harmful—consequences to the fragile dune ecosystem; e.g., excessive trampling and/or extreme sand removal. Here, we defined a road map for implementing beach clean-ups according to the logic of problem solving and project management, also adding a flow chart. More particularly, we subdivided the clean-up project into different steps as follows: context analysis, input and planning, process, monitoring (outputs and outcomes) and adaptation.

“…When you carry out a research on shorebirds you observe that amount of anthropogenic marine/beach litter (mostly plastic) is a general problem that could impact birds (Battisti et al, 2019). Therefore the general statement of the problem could be "plastic litter on seashore could impact birds in my study area".…”

“…Therefore, to carry out research on ecological targets is no longer possible without considering all the anthropogenic threats which interfere with them. Therefore, in recent decades, ecologists have also focused on the effects of human-induced threats (Salafsky et al, 2008;Battisti et al, 2019) and scientific papers have often concluded with sections entitled "implication for conservation", providing evidence-based suggestions aimed at promoting the operational strategies.…”

Abstract. In an era of environmental crises, conservation and management strategies need a new generation of applied ecologists. Here, we stimulate the next-generation applied ecologists to acquire a pragmatic mentality of problems solvers in real contexts, using the wide arsenal of concepts, approaches and techniques available in the project management (PM) arena using a road map based on the main steps of conservation project cycle. The acquisition of the conceptual and operational framework of PM can allow the next-generation applied ecologists to take on a more important role in nature conservation strategies: from data samplers, analyzers and interpreters to suppliers of solutions and decisions driving changes in species' targets inhabiting real contexts. Since the high number of applied ecologists, this change in approach (from analytical to operational) could make the difference in conservation science. We also provided, as a conceptual framework, a set of suggestions and approaches useful to facilitate this change.
