We need your help to spread the message about the problem of marine plastics, provide resources to get involved and reduce its presence in the ocean.

Story

Ocean plastic is a planetary crisis , according to UN Oceans Chief, Lisa Svensson. Each week a new study is released about how plastic has been found in a new species or habitat. Inside animals, at the bottom of the ocean, in our water and in our air - plastic is everywhere. We want to see more ocean and less plastic, so A Rocha is: * Developing a global citizen science project on nurdles - small plastic pellets used for industrial plastic production often found washed up on beaches; * Publishing articles and making presentations that explore the theological implications of marine plastics; * Improving and updating our Microplastics Toolbox, including science, education, lifestyle and theological resources to start your own plastic project; * Working with A Rocha organizations around the world to develop clean-up projects in key habitats such as beaches, mangroves, rivers and lakes. Your support today can make a difference. Thank you! (Photo: Ben Porter, benporterwildlife.co.uk)
