COLLECTE RETRACE DIGUE DES ALLIÉS AVEC SURFRIDER NPDC !

Description

Les Initiatives Océanes évoluent, bienvenue à RETRACE!
Même énergie de terrain, même amour de l’Océan… et un seul objectif : collecter transformer chaque déchet en preuve. En ramassant puis en quantifiant les déchets, on alimente une base de données qui aide Surfrider à interpeller décideurs et industriels et à pousser des mesures concrètes contre la pollution à la source.

PETIT CHANGEMENT :
Nous collecterons sur la plage aux alentours de la Digue des Alliés à Dunkerque/Malo-les-bains

Rendez-vous le 18 avril à 10h sur le parvis du FRAC avec les Bénévoles du groupe local Surfrider Nord-Pas-de-Calais !

Matériel (gants, sacs..) fourni, venez avec votre gourde et votre bonne humeur !

Location

Digue des Alliés, Dunkerque, France
