Retrace les déchets pour l’Ocean Week 2026

Description

Avec 1 jour d’avance sur le programme officiel de la semaine européenne pour l’Océan, nous proposons de collecter et faire parler les déchets sur une des plus belles plages du Morbihan, belle mais fragile, la plage Saint Pierre de Locmariaquer.
Retrace est un programme de Surfrider qui permet aux citoyens de participer à une démarche scientifique de collecte, tri et comptage des déchets échoués sur le littoral, pour permettre ensuite le plaidoyer pour réduire à la source du problème.
