News from the charity
Recent result
Thanks to Pure Ocean, 114,000 liters of waste were collected in 1 year.
The MicroPOW research project funded by Pure Ocean studies the biological consequences of microplastic on the health of wildlife.
The SPO-PLASTIC research project has demonstrated that marine sponges have the capacity to extract up to 30% of microplastics suspended in the water column, and that they process compounds more or less well depending on the type of plastic.
Goal
Pure Ocean would like to be able to fund more projects in order to generate ever greater impact.
