Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the wastes you have found or to write us anything that seems useful for the Ocean Initiatives. Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers.Idée/suggestions: - changer l'ordre de chaque catégorie de déchets dans la fiche bilan pour regrouper visuellement les déchets des mêmes grandes catégories (ex: "masque" a la suite des autres déchets sanitaires & médicaux ; déchets de la conchyculture a la suite des déchets de la pêche..). Pour que lors du comptage on soit certains de ne rien oublier et de ne pas se tromper dans les catégories :) - Rajouter "Bois de construction" car nous en trouvons assez souvent - En remplissant la fiche bilan sur le site, si on souhaite modifier et revenir en arrière on doit tout réécrire (activités de pêche, portuaires...)
