No action is too small

No action is too small

In the face of a rapidly changing world, imminent dangers like plastic pollution, overfishing, and climate change are endangering our ocean...and the incredible creatures that call it home.

This summer, we want YOU to take action for the ocean! No action is too small. Because when we do small things together we can to turn the tide for ocean abundance.

Plus, each week on social media, we'll be highlighting a different #OceanWise team member, supporter, donor or partner and the amazing ways they take one small action in their own communities.

Take Part in Ocean Week Canada

One amazing way to take action is during this annual celebration of ocean connections and culture. Events will be happening across the country all week long hosted by a variety of community and ocean-conservation organizations with the focus of learning about, reflecting on and taking action for the ocean!
