Team 2017: SeaPlastics founders
SEA Plastics was born in September 2015, a mixture of desire to act and dreams of children.
​
Simon, Ernest and Aymeric are 3 students of AgroParisTech, a Parisian school of life engineers. Passionate about the sea and the sailing, the idea came to them to take advantage of 6 months of their life, and their scientific baggage, to study and defend this environment so precious to them: the sea.
They create this association, decided to study plastics and focus on the Mediterranean Sea.
Their missions are as follows:
-> Test the first scientific protocols:
-> Sensitize citizens to plastic pollution
-> Restore the boat for the next expeditions

Simon had never set foot on a boat before embarking on this project, so he boarded the Expeditions MED boat in the summer of 2016 to learn sailing and sampling techniques.
Passionate about ecology and the environment, he is in charge of the scientific aspect of the mission, contacts with researchers and protocol design.
When one embarks on research, it is better to have a good scientific background, but that does not stop Ernest from being passionate about photography. Thoses two skills will allow him to cross them by taking care of the communication, essential for our partners.
The call of the sea has always been very strong at Aymeric, his love of biology too. It is with the desire to combine his two passions that he is committed. He chose to take care of the partners, to nourish our relationship for the duration of the mission, but also after the mission when organizing conferences around our expedition and our results.
Florian has been sailing since a young age. Passionate about the sea, he became a sailor and skipper of the Sea Plastics project to protect and make known the environment he loves so much.
