Every year, hundreds of volunteers collect, sort, Every year, hundreds of volunteers collect, sort, and quantify the waste that pollutes our aquatic environments to allow us to build a valuable database that helps us better understand and combat water pollution. 🕵️

In 2025, we collected and quantified over 1 million pieces of waste through 1,629 waste collections, thanks to the mobilization of 17,172 participants! 

Field data has played a key role in Surfrider’s advocacy efforts to reduce single-use plastics at the source. In particular, it has contributed to the adoption of the European Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive, which aims to ban or reduce certain products that are among the most commonly found in the environment. 🙌

Help us go even further! Join a collection on April 18 and 19 and take action with us ➡️ https://retrace.surfrider.eu/en/interactive-map/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=retracelaunch&utm_id=%23412
