A world that is safe and healthy with vibrant oceans, is possible. And that’s why we are campaigning to end the flow of plastic into our oceans, ensuring stricter measures on overfishing and protecting our endangered marine life.
Part of our campaigning, is on calling on big corporations to act now and reduce their plastic footprint – they are at the heart of this mess. They must stop producing excessive single-use plastic packaging.
Less than 2 percent of the ocean is under protection and this is why we have to preserve and protect our ocean sanctuaries across the globe.
They help endangered species recover and give marine life a fighting chance to survive the rapid changes we are causing to the planet.
The way we treat the rest of our ocean—under protection or not—is just as important. Today, overfishing is the status quo, killing millions of marine animals every year, and human activity is disrupting the balance of marine ecosystems.
The impacts on humans are equally severe. Overfishing compromises food security and the livelihoods of fishing communities.
So, when and if you do buy seafood, make sure to ask questions about how it was caught and urge supermarkets and restaurants to ensure their seafood is ethical and sustainable. We want a better future for our oceans and the people that depend on them. You do, too, right?!

To all involved with this initiative, thanking you all for every bit that you are doing. The Earth has and is still taking such a hammering due to inhuman behaviour and it is a marvel that nature has not quit on us yet. Nature and wildlife sure is suffering and so many wish that all of a sudden all of humanity could wake up to this reality and just bite the bullet for a time being by stepping back to give nature a chance to repair itself. Each person who is willing, is doing whatever they possibly can for this to take place. Fortunatley and unfortunately, everything must run its course. At present, I do not have money to donate (but when I do, I will), so since January of this year I have been picking up plastic on the beach every morning and afternoon, come rain or shine. I am currently trying to figure out a way to be able to gather plastic beads the size of popcorn kernals that has washed up on shore and lying on the dunes between other bits of plastic waste without gathering the sand along. If anyone can advise, that would be fantastic. Also, to then dispose of the plastic waste that I have gathered so that it does not end up on a landfil or the like and pollute again? May we all win at each task for the common good. Warm regards.
