Every year, at least 8,000,000 tons of plastic flow into oceans. If this continues, plastic will over fish in 2050. Even worse marine species will ingest more plastic refuse or be tangled, causing severe injuries and deaths.
Oceans Protection Starts with You
Entering your thoughts about Ocean Protection will light a hand-in-hand icon below. Once 2,000 icons are lighted, we will donate $1,000 to Oceana on behalf of all of you. Just invite your friends to join in and pass #OceanProtection to every corner of the world!
