14 Oct 2025

As part of MACRO CLEAN Project, Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) from Türkiye conducted study visits and interviews with two key institutions in Côtes-d’Armor, France, from 2 to 6 September 2025.

In the commune of Pleubian, MMU representatives met with Ronan Pierre and Justine Louis from the Centre d'Étude et de Valorisation des Algues (CEVA). Additionally, a meeting was held in the commune of Lannion with Gwenaelle Briant from Lannion-Trégor Communauté.

These interviews provided valuable insights into macroalgae collection practices, utilization areas, and related operational processes. The exchange of knowledge and experience contributes to strengthening cross-border collaboration in sustainable coastal and marine management.
