TREASURE project
Cedre at Défi Plastique 2025
The fifth edition of Défi Plastique was held on 29 March. This awareness-raising operation is organised by the Océanopolis Acts endowment fund for the preservation of aquatic environments. Alongside Océanopolis, Surfrider Foundation Europe and Ifremer, Cedre supervised the implementation of a scientific protocol by volunteers, during which it was in charge of litter sampling and identification, the analysis of macro-litter types and awareness-raising among participants of the impact of plastics on the coastal and marine environment. The information gathered will be incorporated into the European Interreg-funded Treasure project, in which Cedre is a partner, in order to support the definition of litter reduction strategies in the Channel-North Sea area and across Europe.
