waste at sea
come from the earth
Nature just
can't digest THEM
Marine animals such as mammals, birds, sea turtles, fish and invertebrates are known to ingest waste, especially plastic waste, because they confuse it with their usual food.
Through our actions,
we protect ecosystems
and their biodiversity.
MerTerre is a key and influential actor on the litter problem.
Characterize
MerTerre develops methods to characterize diffuse litter in all types of environment.
Raise awareness
MerTerre develops educational and awareness-raising tools to change behavior.
Coordinate
Thanks to the collaborative science platforms it coordinates, MerTerre strengthens local stakeholders and their actions.
Support
MerTerre supports stakeholders through data analysis for the co-construction of plans for the prevention and management of diffuse litter.
They support our mission
Public partners, companies, foundations: they support us and reinforce the impact of our missions.
