Help us stop plastic pollution, from source to shore.
Our ocean is the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even the water we drink. But our ocean is in trouble. Issues like pollution, overfishing, and rising global greenhouse gas emissions pose an enormous threat to our ocean’s health.
Fortunately, we have the power to rebuild a resilient and vibrant ocean. Together, we can shape a globally sustainable future – for our children and future generations.
In honour of Earth Day, support Ocean Wise in fighting plastic pollution.
We have a decade to turn the tide. Our ten years starts now.
