Do you want to do something to help protect the ocean? Read about how this youth programme in Mexico has used the #bigmicroplasticsurvey to encourage youngsters to fight for the future of their ocean.

They have been doing this in Germany for the last 20 years! It really shouldn't be this difficult.

We were talking to visitors at the @UoPPlastics @jetsam_tech app launch event today. Lot of interest in our @bigmicrosurvey #citizenscience project gathering #microplastic data from around the world & expanding our knowledge

BREAKING: Protections to the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument are restored! Send an email to thank President Biden for protecting #MonumentsForAll #SaveTheSeamounts: monumentsforall.org/action/
This is a big change in policy. Implementing these changes will be difficult but these are the sort of actions we must take if we are going to resolve the issue of #plasticpollution
This is a significant step being taken by Spain to reduce #plasticpollution. Let's hope more countries implement similar policy changes.

We applaud the $60k fine imposed for importing shark fins. Unfortunately the lucrative nature of this abhorrent practice means that will not be a sufficient deterrent. bit.ly/3nv3q0j

"A less environmentally & socially damaging alternative to terrestrial mining" Seriously! Because we can't see it! This is an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen

This has to stop. Fines are not working and EA is proving to be ineffective. Water companies must be held accountable & better legislation introduced to ensure they improve their processes.

Not only is this unacceptable, it is also avoidable. Water companies must be held accountable. #notgoodenough

Good news! Interesting to see how this pans out #plasticpollution – at Solidaridad, Quintana Roo
#Honolulu will be banning single use #plastic from January 2021. The legislation only applies to food vendors at this stage but it will be interesting to see how it goes.
