Why we love it?

The NaturDive project is already supported by the renowned Office Français de la Biodiversité (French Biodiversity Office) and had the opportunity to prove its worth during a trial phase in 2022! It now needs to be perpetuated to continue the fight against marine pollution near the coast.
