In this archipelago of 273.8 million inhabitants, which is home to one of the world’s greatest biodiversities, plastic pollution is a dangerous threat to the oceans: between 200 and 550 thousand tons of marine waste are discarded in the waters every year. {*}
In its desire to prevent plastic pollution at the source, The SeaCleaners has chosen this highly affected part of the world to carry out collection, recovery and awareness actions. With the Mobula 8, the first boat of a fleet of multipurpose pollution control vessels, the association intends to tackle this scourge in order to protect rivers, coasts, mangroves…
Built in Paimpol, Brittany, with the SME Efinor Sea Cleaner, the Mobula 8 set sail for Indonesia from Le Havre on October 18, 2022. Far from being a long quiet river, the routing of such a boat represents many challenges! Thanks to Fiona Yap, founder of the Bali Marine Service, our boat has (finally!) arrived at the right port and is ready to enter into operation. The inauguration date is set: it will be March 20!
