Expedition in the media port
Clean-up with Multifloat NEMO
Welcome aboard our innovative NEMO clean-up raft in Düsseldorf's media port. Spend exciting hours on the Rhine with your youth group or school class and make a valuable contribution to water protection.
The media harbor is full of various types of underwater trash, such as tires, e-scooters and bicycles. At the same time, large quantities of wood and plastic waste are driven into the port every day. Many of these substances are harmful to aquatic animals, us humans and nature. That's why we clean up together!
In addition, we provide practical knowledge on the topics of clean water, waste prevention and nautics. At the end of our port expedition, we understood why waste does not belong in water and nature and can pass on our knowledge to others.
