The Sea Cleaners: Taking action to restore and preserve the marine ecosystem
Teréga: committed to the energy transition
Through its endowment fund, Teréga pursues its commitment to protecting the environment and supports original projects and initiatives to preserve biodiversity.
That environmental commitment is clearly set out in one of the endowment fund’s main action areas: “Mobilising people around environmental protection and biodiversity.”
The Manta: an innovative solution for collecting waste at sea
As part of its action against plastic pollution in seas and oceans, The Sea Cleaners is developing an innovative vessel: The Manta.
This ship, a veritable floating factory, will be capable of collecting and repurposing floating microplastic waste. Due for launch in 2024, this ship will be the first vessel capable of collecting and processing floating waste before it disperses and penetrates the marine ecosystem for good.
You can find out more about the Manta project on The Sea Cleaners’ website.
