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 team, learn basic nautical rules and make a valuable contribution to water protection at the same time.
The media harbor is full of various types of underwater trash, such as tires, e-scooters and bicycles. Large quantities of wood and plastic waste are also driven into the port every day. Many of these substances are harmful to aquatic life, us humans and nature. That's why we work together and clean up! In addition, we provide you with practical knowledge on the topics of clean water, waste prevention and nautics. At the end of our port expedition, you will see the Rhine differently, have gained new experiences and actively contributed to protecting our rivers and oceans.
