Protecting the oceans from plastic pollution
The project
DecontaminationSensibilization
Limit the arrival of waste, particularly plastic, in the ocean by protecting and cleaning up French coastlines and rivers, and by acting at source to change behavior and local prevention plans.

Solution
Wings of the Ocean installs seven 2-6 month missions on French coasts and rivers each year, to preserve areas directly impacted by plastic pollution and waste.
To achieve this, the association makes the following commitments:
- Organize several waste collections each week.
- Raise awareness among the general public aboutprotecting the ocean by running workshops on waste, the ocean and the impact of plastic, and by participating in local & national cultural events.
- Develop a sorting center locally to characterize and revalue (when possible!) recovered waste.
- Recruit a network of volunteers fed, housed and trained by the association each year on their local and itinerant missions (boats).
