Support MANTA, a giant of the sea against pollution
Organization information
The Sea Cleaners
Location: Paris, France
Summary
Created in 2016 by French-Swiss navigator and explorer Yvan Bourgnon, the NGO The SeaCleaners offers concrete solutions against plastic pollution, both at sea and on land, through corrective and preventive activities.
The SeaCleaners has four missions:
- Protection of the environment by collecting floating waste and by voluntary cleanup operations on land
- Education, through the development of awareness-raising programs
- Scientific research
- Promotion of the transition to a circular economy.
The SeaCleaners’ iconic project is the MANTA, a pioneering solution for the collecting and recovery of floating plastic macro-waste. The MANTA is an innovative ship equipped with an onboard plant which will be launched in 2024. This giant of the seas will be the first ocean-going vessel capable of collecting and processing floating ocean waste en masse before it breaks up and penetrates the marine ecosystem in the long term. A true technological challenge, the Manta will be powered by a combination of several renewable energy production technologies to minimise its carbon footprint.
