Voluntary cleaning announced on the six kilometers of Omaha

The cut announced a cleaning operation of the beach of Omaha Beach as part of the Ocean Initiatives. This mobilization of Surfrider Foundation Europe has brought together thousands of volunteers for seventeen years to clean beaches, banks and seabeds. The edition scheduled for March 22 to 25 had the slogan "Let's reduce our plastic footprint". The newspaper indicated that plastic then accounted for between sixty and ninety percent of the materials collected each year.

The Calvados antenna, hosted by Éolia Normandie and animated for four years by Dominique Louis, was preparing a cleaning of the six kilometers of Omaha on Sunday, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The three coastal municipalities had to provide the bags and remove the collected waste.

Volunteers were invited to present themselves with gloves at 2:15 p.m. at one of the three meeting points: the Aeolia base near the dike in Vierville, the Saint-Laurent rescue station or the Eolia base near the Belambra Club in Colleville. A snack was to end the meeting at the Colleville-sur-Mer base.
