Support waste collection at sea with the MOBULA 8 in Indonesia
Organization information
The Sea Cleaners
Location: Paris, France
Summary
The Sea Cleaners is teaming up with Indonesian organisations to conduct on-ground actions in order to help combat plastic pollution in Indonesia.
The team will carry out clean-up operations in Bali waters and implement on-land activities, in collaboration with local authorities, organisations and community. To achieve this, MOBULA 8, the multi-purpose clean-up boat developed by The Sea Cleaners, will begin operations in Bali in the second quarter of 2022.
Capable of cleaning 15,000 sqm per hour, the MOBULA 8 collects both solid and liquid waste. It is designed to operate in rivers, mangrove swamps and lake areas, canals and coastal areas up to 5 miles from the coast. It can collect 2.4 tons of solid waste and 600 litres of liquid waste per rotation.
The project will work on multiple aspects:
Waste collection at sea and/or on rivers by MOBULA 8,
Management of waste collected by MOBULA 8,
Education and awareness raising, and
Scientific missions.
Created in 2016 by French-Swiss navigator and explorer Yvan Bourgnon, the NGO The Sea Cleaners offers concrete solutions against plastic pollution, both at sea and on land, through corrective and preventive activities.
