Solution

Wings of the Ocean installs seven 2-6 month missions each year on French coastlines and rivers, 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 of ocean protection for the general public by running workshops on waste, the ocean and the impact of plastic, and by taking part in local & national ;develop a sorting center locally to characterize and revalue (when possible!) the waste recovered; recruit a network of volunteers fed, housed and trained by the association each year on their local and itinerant missions (boats).

Your support will contribute directly to mission expenses each year, namely:  
accommodation, food and transportation for more than 200 volunteers; the operational costs of their waste collection and awareness-raising activities; the costs inherent in maintaining their fleet of boats.
