Our Oceans of Plastics
How plastic pollution harms Marine Life
It has been reported that Pollution is one of the five main drivers of
our current biodiversity crisis. It is threatening 40% of marine mammals
with extinction. Plastic is now found world-wide on our local beaches
and in the deepest ocean.
Marine pollution includes tiny fibres which shed from clothes, to
chemicals washed down the sink. Pollutants, including plastic, chemicals
and bacteria travel from our towns and cities to our seas, as well as
from activities directly in our ocean.
If we don’t tackle pollution at source, these highly persistent
chemicals and plastics will continue to increase in our ocean causing
untold damage. That's where we come in.
