Matthias Delpey, is a PhD in physical oceanography and he's in charge of innovation and development at the Suez Sea and Aquatic Environments Cluster in Rivages Pro Tech.
In the context of the LIFE LEMA project, Rivages Pro Tech and the Suez Sea & Aquatic Environments Pole have worked on the development of new technologies supporting strategies to combat marine litter in coastal areas.This research and innovation effort continues today through the FML-TRACK project, which relies on the European Union’s Copernicus Marine Service to track marine litter and its origin.

Some numbers about the project:
2 adapted fishing boats and 2 specialised boats collect litter
at the sea and are taking part
in the research & innovation programme.
Key: The fishing boats Itsas Belarra, commissioned by the Syndicat Mixte Kosta Garbia, and UHAINA de Rivages Pro Tech for the city of Biarritz are collecting and measuring a pile of litter at sea during the LIFE LEMA project.
Up to 20 tonnes of litter
had been intercepted at
the sea by fishing boats
adapted for collecting
from May to October.
More than 500 sea and beaches missions provides each year crucial information on marine litter through the new monitoring tools set up in the LIFE LEMA and FML-TRACK programmes.
An operational tool to help management for professionals working in the maritime and cleaning services sectors.
