FleetMon raising awareness of marine pollution through sponsorship of documentary project

in Research, Sponsoring by

In October 2019 a German producer and environmental activist turned to us in need of support for a documentary project. Together with his team, he examines if trash of German rivers could contribute to coastal pollution of the Lofoten, a group of islands in the north of Norway. The idea is to build buoys equipped with GPS devices and track their journey to demonstrate the flow of German plastics.

 

FleetMon values curiosity and ingenuity! We support the project team by sponsoring the first batch of GPS devices for free.
