Eco-citizen operations (pollution clean-up), awareness child

The organisation has 45 branches around the world. Its national and international development allows it to provide expertise to associations and citizen initiatives, to set up training with follow-up and traceability, and to accompany companies and corporations that wish to commit to the protection of the oceans, seas, rivers and streams.

Project Rescue Ocean is mainly financed by donations from private companies and citizens who share the same values. But also with sponsorships through CERFA certificates, which they deliver. As well as through memberships and the direct sale of items with the logo of the organisation: collect jute bag, 100% organic T-shirt, reusable water bottle...

The organisation was founded in 2015 by Benoit Schumann and since its creation 416 tons of waste have been taken out of nature, sorted and recycled. In addition, 17,000 children have been trained as "ocean rescuers". This training given by the Rescue Ocean Academy is accredited by the French Ministry of Education.

Since March 8th 2021, Project Rescue Ocean has been officially accredited as a UNESCO club member by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Annually, implementation of de-pollution actions in nature by involving youth and the general public. In 2022, more than 97,000 kilos of waste were collected. The waste is recovered and recycled by partner companies.
But we also raise awareness of eco-citizenship in schools, colleges and high schools, in 2022, more than 5,000 children were involved.

Our actions take place all over the world and we hope for an even greater mobilisation in 2023. We want Project Rescue Ocean to be a reference for eco-citizenship in simple action, accessible to all.
