A Gesture For The Sea: take action against plastic pollution
Organization information
Fondation de la Mer
Location: Paris, France
Summary
Every minute, 18 tons of plastic are dumped into the Ocean. The resulting pollution has a catastrophic impact on marine biodiversity and human health. We all need to act.
The Fondation de la Mer’s ‘Un Geste Pour la Mer’ platform enables everyone to take action against plastic pollution, with:
A global community that brings together citizens, associations, scientists, educational institutions, communities and private entities.
A map detailing collection points in mainland France and its overseas territories, news, educational resources, practical tools to help you in your commitment to the Ocean.
A simple and fast financing system for associations who specifically fight plastic pollution through waste collections or awareness actions.
The Fondation de la Mer is at the service of all those who act for a sustainably protected ocean, exploited with care and wisdom. It now supports hundreds of local actors and implements its own programs to protect marine biodiversity, fight against pollution at sea, support research, encourage innovation, inform and raise awareness among all audiences, especially young people.
