All scientific news
Basing our projects on scientifically validated knowledge.
The SeaCleaner’s’ scientific activities are the bridge between our field work and the international scientific community, focused on issues of plastic waste and ocean pollution. It is essential that our projects be grounded in rigorous science.
Our team listens in real time to the latest studies on plastic pollution. We catalogue, comment and explain the research for the non-specialist audience.
Our International Scientific Advisory Board informs our strategy and actions with rich and diverse expertise.
Our teams in the field study future collection sites and establish local collaborative networks.
OpenData is our philosophy. We share our technical analyses in order that all may benefit and better understand the issues surrounding plastic pollution.
Yannick Lerat, our Scientific Director, helps you decipher the latest science on plastic pollution with three dedicated contents.
