Abstract

OSPARITO is a fun programme designed for cycle 2 and 3 pupils to study and learn about marine pollution.

Using a scientific protocol based on a detective story, pupils will take part in collecting scientific data on aquatic waste.

OSPARITO can be carried out on beaches, rivers and lakes.

As well as raising young people’s awareness of the issues surrounding waste, the data collected in the field will help to improve scientific knowledge on this subject. It will also help to support the move towards laws to reduce waste, at both French and European level.
