Tonnes of plastic debris are discarded each year across the world. They pollute lands, rivers, coasts, beaches and oceans. Ocean waste pollution has now reached such a magnitude that you can witness it simply by walking on any beach on the planet.
At Think Ocean we believe that each clean-up raises public awareness to the threat of marine litter in a very effective way. In various studies, volunteers say that participating in clean-up events makes them more mindful of how they dispose of their own waste.
To date almost 2 billion plastic bottles, tonnes of discarded fishing nets and various other items of plastic and litter have been collected to date by our volunteers, partners and supporters in seven different locations around the world including the UK, Bali, Nigeria, Bangladesh, USA, India, Brazil and Chile.
We continue to work tirelessly to protect the planet, and hope that you will join forces with us. Together we can turn the tide on plastic pollution!
