A marine conservation charity
stopping plastics entering the seas
The Problem
Marine plastic pollution occurs from the misconception of:
It’s only one piece of plastic, what harm can it do?
The sea is vast, rubbish will not affect it adversely.
My life is not affected by plastics in the oceans.
Climate change has nothing to do with marine plastics.
The Reality
But the truth of the matter is:
There is over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in the sea and counting.
Plastics are in the food chain!
1/3 of all fish caught off UK shores have plastics in them.
Seafood eaters ingest up to 11,000 tiny pieces of plastic every year with dozens of particles becoming embedded in human tissues.
The degradation and breakdown of plastic represents a previously unrecognized source of greenhouse gases.

From Source to Sea: The journey of plastics
Plastic pollution transported by rivers could make up 70% – 80% of the plastics that are found within the marine environment. Rivers act like a huge conveyor belt, talking our waste from the cities and inland areas, all the way out into the oceans.
In 1992 a shipment containing 28,000 rubber ducks fell into the Pacific Ocean. It highlighted the great distances pollution can travel once it enters the big blue.
