Protecting aquatic environments: from the poles to the Rhône
15 tonnes of waste = 10 €
The project is waiting for its first donation!
The project
OceanNature
Over 70% of the waste found at sea comes from rivers. The project we've been running for the past 7 years involves bringing together citizens of all abilities on a voluntary basis to carry out water pollution control actions.
Our rivers, lakes and oceans are fragile and precious ecological entities that must be preserved to protect all the ecosystems that depend on them.
