Healthy oceans and marine life are critical for life on earth 🌎 Right now the planet and oceans face many threats, from the climate crisis, plastic pollution, overfishing and IUU - illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Today I ask you to consider some ways that are within your capacity to help make a difference. Here are some important factors contributing to ocean plastic pollution - 🌊 The number one plastic contaminant in our ocean is due to the fishing industry making up 70% of macro plastics found in the ocean - abandoned fishing nets, lines, ropes. Overfishing is damaging our oceans and marine life in many ways. The loss of large fish species is disrupting the food web. Bottom trawling releases as much carbon as air travel and also results in bycatch. Bycatch is when marine life like dolphins, whales, sharks, turtles, porpoises are caught as a consequence of industrial fishing. As many as 300,000 per year don’t make it with as many as 30,000 sharks lost per hour. This is the heartbreaking cost of consuming commercially caught fish and seafood. 🌊 All other plastic products pose a threat to the health of our oceans, marine life and us - It’s in our water, food, air and now it’s been found in our blood and lungs. Single use plastics like bottles, bags, balloons, candy/gum wrappers, party/picnic ware, and fishing gear are common items seen at beach clean ups. You can purchase reusable everything these days which is a small way to make a big lifelong difference. 🌊 One of the worst contaminants of all - Nurdles. These are pre production plastic pellets sent across the oceans to make plastic consumer items. Many are spilled and wash up on our beaches. They are tiny, can be confused for fish eggs by marine animals, are extremely toxic, hard to clean up, and sadly now found in the most remote places on this earth. We can all help by using less plastic, attending local beach clean ups, opting for reusable products, and by speaking up to protect our wild, precious oceans 🐋」6月8日 18時15分
