The SeaCleaners Swiss

The Team

A committed leadership and a volunteer committee with complementary skills: discover those who drive The SeaCleaners Swiss forward, both in Switzerland and in the field.

Benoit de Torcy, Executive Director of The SeaCleaners Swiss“

A word from the Director

“Our ambition is to make The SeaCleaners a benchmark for river and coastal cleanup, through concrete solutions, measurable results, and a lasting commitment to local communities.

But our true success is becoming unnecessary: passing on the skills and resources needed so that our actions continue, even after we leave.”

Every Mobula that sails, every school that discovers the journey of plastic, every kg recycled, we owe to the trust of our donors, members, and partners. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
