00:00Typhoon has been sailing Greek water since July 2019.
00:04It lies at the heart of the Typhoon Project, an initiative by the Athanasios K Lascaridis
00:10Public Benefit Foundation.
00:13The project's aim is to clean up the entire Greek coastline, with particular focus on
00:19hard-to-reach shores.
00:21In February 2023, the first clean-up cycle, covering the coastlines of the islands and
00:28most of mainland Greece was completed.
00:31Every day, 365 days a day, there are 5 ships from the Typhoon Project, which is a
00:38Norwegian project at 72 meters.
00:41Our team, which is 20 cleaners, cleanses the non-reviewed units, they don't have
00:46a direct network, they don't have any organized tourist business, and there is no
00:52way, at least easy, to clean it up.
00:55We followed the 20-member crew to the islet of Patroclus in the Saronic Gulf.
01:01Everything they collected was then transported aboard the ship.
01:05But the team's work doesn't end once the shores have been cleaned.
01:09In addition to transporting recyclable waste to the appropriate facilities, they also carry
01:14out an equally important task, documenting their findings.
01:18We implement a detailed description of all the ranges.
01:22We know exactly how much it is, how many ships, how many ships, how many ships, from every
01:27island.
01:27This time, we have the biggest base of data related to the sea-reviewed
01:32in the Mediterranean.
01:33And we continue daily.
01:35We have over 10,000 complete measurements.
01:38After seven years of operations in Greek waters, the Typhoon project's track record is as impressive
01:45as it is concerning.
02:07The Typhoon project also collaborates with two Greek universities to study marine waste and
02:13identify different types of plastic.
02:14It also organizes educational activities with schools on the islands it visits.
02:20The Typhoon project is unique in the Mediterranean.
02:23Every day, the team of processing crew combines the ranges from 500 kg to 1 ton.
02:29And only this range shows the height of the sea-reviewed and the importance of this effort.

02:41All right to see you.
02:42We're having 30 Darrahis.
