Nature Park Telašćica Nature Park Telašćica

Eco Patrol Team Telašćica

Our sea Man transforms into the largest dump in the world. It is estimated that up to 12 million tons of plastic per year enter our seas all over the world and that around 80% of the world's pollution of the sea is plastic waste. That waste in the sea comes by throwing it off from ships or shores, by the wind from the land and by sea currents.

Come and join the Eco Patrol team. We can preserve the environment together, help us collect waste and marine debris in Telašćica, and let us be the cleanest cove in the Adriatic.

Duties and responsibilities

  • clean the coves from the rubbish floating in the sea,
  • sort out the collected waste for recycling purposes,
  • lay down and prepare waste for transport,
