Nom du projet: Cleanuptime Ocean3C, Isabelle Chabrat
temporary website : https://www.cleanuptime.hk/,
Résumé:
Ocean3C has already been a catalyst for collaboration between the HK and French communities through its numerous events and programs around Ocean sustainability. Our new program, Cleanuptime is no exception: a collaborative project from Ocean3C in partnership with two Hong Kong institutions: Swire Institute of Marine Sciences ( SWIMS) HKU, and the NGO Time Auction. The goal is to engage the community in a unique Citizen Science program through beach cleanups, to create a local database of marine plastic waste that is much needed for scientific research. Participants will be rewarded through the Time Auction platform for their contribution and be featured on our social networks. Cleanuptime is targeting the many groups that already carry out beach cleanups, as well as those who would like to get started. In addition, thanks to the strong presence of Ocean3C in the education field, an “Adopt a Beach” program will be offered to schools. Based on a more detailed data collection process explained by scientists, students will be able to strengthen their knowledge on Ocean sustainability and benefit from mentoring from our network of experts. “Adopt a Beach” will also be offered to companies in collaboration with their CSR department, and to citizens.
Valeurs clefs:
Ocean literacy and sustainability Collaboration Community Engagement Citizen Science Education and awareness
A votre avis, en quoi votre projet contribue t-il au rayonnement de la France et/ou de Hong Kong ?
Cleanuptime showcases how the French community (individual, corporate, scientists and educators etc ) is involved and active on a solution based approach to environmental issues outside of France… As such the project is carrying the French "values" and sharing them within the HK community. Indeed, Cleanuptime is totally aligned with the focus France is having on Ocean sustainability and Biodiversity protection. For example : the “One Ocean Summit” held in France in Feb. 2022. Ocean3C is also promoting the French Fondation Tara Ocean work in HK through events and in its education programs. For example : the ‘we love the sea “ campaign from agnesb.HK. Cleanuptime also aims at promoting the HK community efforts and its engagement towards environment protection. We have a long term relation with Cleanshorelines from the EPD for our beach cleaning activities. We are also working in close collaboration with a network of HK scientits and influencers to promote education and awareness.
