Keeping Our Oceans Clean


Ocean waves

The ocean’s role as the engine of all life on this planet is threatened by marine pollution. It is dumped, pumped, spilled, leaked into the ocean and even washed out with our laundry.
Healthy ocean ecosystems are those exhibiting normal form and function that is demonstrating sufficient organisation, vigour and resilience to allow the ecosystem to exist, thrive and evolve as a natural system. Clean oceans are oceans free from any type of pollution reaching them from any pathway (e.g. direct discharge, runoff, pollution from ships, deep-sea mining etc.)
