TOURISM WASTE MANAGEMENT IN COASTAL AREAS 

Tourist activity generates a large amount of urban waste that has a negative impact on marine ecosystems and on the quality of life of residents and visitors. This challenge poses the development of a practical and preventive solution that acts before the waste reaches the natural environment.

In response to this need, OCEAN E-CLEAN was born, a project that offers an autonomous and circular solution to respond to oil spills in ports and coastal areas.

The Consortium is coordinated by BASQUENERGY Cluster and is composed of 7 other associations and clusters, Blue Italian Growth, Canary Islands Maritime Cluster, Claner, De Blauwe Cluster, Marine Cluster Bulgaria, Pole Mer Mediterranee and Wind Energy Hub; 4 floating platform developers, Enerocean, Eolink, Multi Engineering and Saitec; 11 suppliers, 24Sea, Aventa, Core Marine Solutions, Eonsea, France Energies Marines, Geodis, Ghenova Marine Renewables, Haedes Engineering, Ingenieria Zero, Oceanide and Tetrace; and with Zabala supporting the project.
