Story

I'm deeply concerned about the health of our ocean. More than 250 million tons of plastic are estimated to make its way into our ocean by 2025. Everyday trash is entering the sea at an alarming rate. It is urgent, now more than ever, that we take collective action against the onslaught of marine debris. Project AWARE works to reduce underwater impacts of marine debris and prevent trash from entering the ocean in the first place. Thank you for supporting ocean protection by donating through my page. The process is fast, easy and secure.

As a result of me gaining a place as a finalist for the very first Ms Scuba UK, alongside the other contestants, and those competing for the hugely successful Miss Scuba UK, we are all raising awareness and funds to support Project Aware.
As a professional mermaid, I am already incredibly fortunate to be able to swim with such BEAUTIFUL sea creatures, like Green Sea Turtles, Black and White Tip Sharks and Zebra sharks, appreciating their incredible beauty, intelligence and nature at it's most wondrous. But their natural home is being destroyed by humans, and we need to take a stand NOW!
Sadly, a lot of the sharks I swim with are under threat in the wild or on their way to the endangered list.

I am aiming to hit he £250 mark to symbolise how many MILLION tons of plastics are estimated to be in our oceans in just 6 years time, overtaking the amount of fish we even have living there. We are taking over their home, their habitat and their lives are being destroyed. This has to stop, and we need to take action.

Please help if you can so we can help put a stop to this
