ADVOCACY
The complex reality about plastic in the water: One garbage truck of plastic is thrown into our ocean every minute.
We are spreading environmental awareness among the youth for the sake of future generations and Mother Earth herself.
Did you know that at least 11 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans each year? That equates to one garbage truck being emptied every minute!
Oceans manage our climate and provide most of the oxygen we breathe while supporting critical economic sectors and protecting wildlife. Clean Seas strives to harness the collective strength of the public in the battle against marine trash and plastic pollution.
Plastic pollution may be our fault, but the remedy is within our grasp.

WHY DO OCEANS MATTER?
Every breath we take, each drop of water we drink connects us to the ocean. The vitality of our world is dependent on the life of the sea to preserve and sustain it. Our ocean, however, is under threat from a variety of sources, including global climate change, pollution, habitat loss, invasive species, and a significant drop in ocean fish populations. These threats to the ocean are so prevalent that more than 40% of the sea has been severely harmed, with no location spared. As a result, humans are losing access to the food, jobs, and critical environmental services provided by a healthy ocean. This USL project aims to restore the ocean's health and output by encouraging people to care and act, reducing the effect of fishing, and supporting the development of marine protected zones.
We are turning the tide!
WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ALL ABOUT?
I presented a project to combat ocean pollution after enlightening you on the tragic realities of ocean pollution and the need for greater ocean enlightenment for our world. It may appear easy, but the consequences will be profound and beneficial to all species. Through this ambitious project, I hope to lessen the adverse effects of ocean pollution and see a drastic change in our climate and marine life, such as lowering the mortality rate of marine creatures and reducing health risks to animals and humans. Additionally, I want to decrease the risk of chemical and plastic pollution for people, as we have all seen in the news about these events in other countries. And, because some animal species, such as turtles, are extensively affected worldwide, we are entirely reliant on what is occurring, and we must solve it before animal extinction occurs. In addition, I want to create and restore habitat for every species in the animal kingdom. Because ocean pollution has a causal association with illnesses and viruses, I want to reduce casualties and save people from incurable diseases. I feel that this speaks for all of us who share the same environment since the planet is our home, and if we are the cause of these casualties, we must accept full responsibility for our actions. As a result, I designed and offered this initiative to promote awareness and educate people about the implications of their actions. This project aims to educate the young about ocean pollution and urge them to participate in this movement week using the Ekoru search engine and related activities. We must pass on these habits to preserve our world for future generations. We can do it if we work together!
The future of our globe is in the hands of those participating in this effort and advocacy, which has led to my vision of a united country filling and subduing our earth's fields and constructing a house capable of hosting the next generation. Because this is the future of all species, if we all work together to make it a reality, we will still have a place to live in the future.
The primary purpose of this effort and campaign is to inculcate in people's minds the value of our marine environment by encouraging people and youth to join us in our fight to rescue the world. It is also for us to grow in character and identify one of the essential things we must accomplish in this world: caring for the environment.
Furthermore, there will be activities as part of the project's purpose, and my goal, aside from our single mission, is to make everything fascinating for the participants.
INITIATIVES
Marine plastic pollution is a complicated issue with no simple solution, and each of us has a role to play. Governments, corporations, people, youth, and the sports industry are forging ahead and turning the tide on plastic.
