Climate organizations gather 90,000 kilos of garbage from Wadden Sea

NL Times  

Three years after the ship MSC Zoe lost 342 containers during a storm, clean-up campaigns have gathered around 90,000 kilos of waste from the Waddenzee. "A lot of rubbish has been cleaned up but by no means everything," said the environmental organization united in the CleanUpXL campaign. "With six days of salvage, seven diving expeditions on various wrecks and beach clean-ups with 110 volunteers, we removed 87,593 kilos of was from the sea," the organizations said. Last year the shipping company MSC was ordered to pay 3.4 million euros in compensation.
