Our Oceans Are Dying
Every minute, a truckload of plastic enters our oceans. Marine life is disappearing. But together, we can turn the tide.
The Reality
From plastic pollution to climate change, our marine ecosystems are under attack from multiple fronts.
Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans every year, creating massive garbage patches and threatening marine life at every level of the food chain.
Rising temperatures are causing coral bleaching, disrupting marine ecosystems, and forcing species to migrate or face extinction.
Industrial fishing has depleted fish populations to critical levels, threatening food security for billions who depend on seafood.
CO2 absorption is making oceans 30% more acidic, dissolving shells and skeletons of marine organisms.
Industrial chemicals, pesticides, and oil spills contaminate marine habitats, poisoning wildlife and entering our food chain.
Coastal development, bottom trawling, and pollution destroy critical habitats like mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs.
It produces 50% of our oxygen, regulates our climate, provides food for billions, and supports countless livelihoods. When we save the ocean, we save ourselves.
