We warmly thank the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation for their generous donation of two mobile DPOL pollution control pumping units supplied by the company Echoes of Oceans.
This equipment, manufactured in France, allows for the continuous suction of floating waste and requires no maintenance other than emptying the nets, which can collect up to 180 litres of waste in one night.
