Your Messega in a Bottle
FOUND A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO? It’s simple! Take out your smartphone and note the coordinates where you found the bottle. Then, write the coordinates on the message (there’s a dedicated line for finders) with a pen. Next, take a photo of the message (with your coordinates on it) and email it to aquaticplastic@petkupa.hu. After sending the email, place the message back in the bottle and leave it as it was, allowing it to continue its journey. Why? Find out in the project description below!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN CITIZEN SCIENCE & ALWAYS WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE?
You are at the right place at the right time. You’ve probably heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But did you know that 80% of all marine litter reaches the oceans through rivers? I think we can all agree that keeping our rivers clean and plastic-free is important for everyone. To make a real difference, we need to better understand how pollution travels along our rivers. That’s where you come in! We invite you to become a citizen scientist and help us track pollution by sending YOUR message in a BOTTLE. NGOs, schools, environmental activists across the Danube River Basin are already taking part, and we’d love for you to join them! If you’re interested in making a positive impact, simply DOWNLOAD our Invitation Handout! The document and video below contain all the details you need to get started. Thank you for your support!
