EXPLORE OCEAN PLASTICS
LAB
IN PARIS

From 4 to 17 November 2017 the Ocean Plastics Lab was shown on the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville in front of the town hall in Paris. With about 8,900 visitors, the second tour stop of the OPL was very successful. Not only did we have the pleasure of welcoming Nobel Peace Prize Laureat Prof. Yunus as well as the German Ambassador N. Meyer-Landrut – with the visit of 21 school groups we have been able to reach out and inform the future generation about the problem of plastic in the ocean and the importance of science to understand and solve this global problem.

We also had the pleasure of meeting some contributors of the OPL’s exhibits, such as the artist Jeremy McKane, whose installation LUCiD is shown in container 1 and Peter Kohler from The Plastic Tide project, shown in container 4. Additionally, together with French partners, we hosted a little conference for the wider public at the Hôtel de Ville with speakers Diane Beaumenay-Joannet from Surfrider Foundation Europe, François Galgani from Ifremer and Xavier Bougeard from Tara Expéditions.

The Ocean Plastics Lab is open for the public and free of charge.
The exhibition provides a barrier-free access.

THANK YOU

We want to thank our local partners for the great support making this a wonderful and successful tour-stop. Also a big thanks to all people who visited the exhibition, we hope you enjoyed it.
