During the course of your Ocean Initiative, did you find and collect biocarriers?Oui
Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the wastes you have found or to write us anything that seems useful for the Ocean Initiatives. Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers.Nous avons adoré faire cette belle initiative océane qui a éveillée les élèves et accompagnants à l'ambleur de la catastrophe écologique. Les élèves se sont bien emparé du tri des déchets dans un second temps, le lendemain de la récolte. Toutefois, le travail de recensement est vraiment laborieux car trop exhaustif. Nous avons été découragé devant l'ampleur de la tache, c'est d'ailleurs le point qui pourrait nous faire hésiter à reproposer une IO à nos classes. Merci à Surfrider pour leur aide humaine et matérielle.
