Seventy volunteers clean the beach of Omaha

On the occasion of the 17th edition of the Ocean Initiatives, organized from March 22 to 25 by Surfrider Foundation, 800 gatherings were held in France and 31 other countries to remove waste from beaches, seabed, lakes and rivers.

On Sunday afternoon, the Calvados branch, hosted in Eolia Normandie and hosted for four years by Dominique Louis, brought together 70 volunteers at the sites of Vierville, Saint-Laurent and Colleville. Despite the cold and fog, they traveled six kilometers of beach for two hours and collected more than six cubic meters of waste.

A snack allowed participants to exchange after the pick-up. The three municipalities provided logistical support by ensuring the removal of waste.
