By showcasing a local response to a global challenge, Clean Maritime Portsmouth highlights the importance of regional efforts in contributing to broader international climate goals,\u201d said Dr David Hutchinson, associate professor in environmental innovation at the University of Portsmouth.<\/p>\n
