geschiedenis van sterke yerke

Sterke Yerke kent een lange geschiedenis. Wat begon als een initiatief tegen olievervuiling op zeeën, groeide in de loop der jaren uit tot een bredere inzet tegen vervuiling van water, met steeds meer aandacht voor plastic en microplastics.

Sterke Yerke begon als een vlot op het water, dat door de jaren heen in verschillende versies is ingezet. Op deze pagina nemen we je mee langs de belangrijkste periodes. Voor wie verder wil kijken of verdiepen, verwijzen we hieronder naar externe websites en video’s.

Zee vervuiling is niet van gisteren. Ruim 40 jaar geleden zeilde het zelfgebouwde vlot Sterke Yerke over de Atlantische Oceaan en deed onderzoek naar olie verontreiniging in zee. Met wekelijkse nieuwsitems werd het probleem van watervervuiling op de kaart gezet.
