Mission CorSeaCare 2.0 A low-tech solution to upcycle plastics collected on Corsican beaches

Association MareVivu

Following on from its CorSeaCare Mission supported by BeMed in 2019, the association proposed to trial a low-tech, creative solution across Corsica for recycling plastic waste collected from the coastline by citizens and associations.

Main results of the project:

  • Advocacy & communication: 2 meetings with elected officials, 9 media appearances (TV, press, local radio).
  • Biodiversity & participatory science: 4 FAST diving surveys, 4 eco-friendly campaigns, 8 survey sessions.
  • Awareness raising: 4 workshops for the general public, 3 activities for children, 3 conferences, 5 film screenings.
