#TIME TO STOP

Marine Debris Campaign (2010-2023) 

 

Removing harmful debris from the UK's coastline and rivers with our Marine Debris Campaign using volunteer lead beach cleans which both the public can attend, and companies can send their employees to participate. CPWF-UK provides education resources, talks and beach cleaning equipment to schools on request. Our volunteers also conduct river cleans and underwater cleans with our Dive team in harbours, marinas or off beaches around the UK while our new landing craft 'Selkie' is dedicated to patrols and clean-up operations around remote and otherwise inaccessible bays and beaches around Scotland

COASTAL DEBRIS CAMPAIGN

In 30 years, if we carry on this way, the weight of plastic in the oceans will be greater than the weight of fish.

PROJECT ONE WAVE

There are 86 million tonnes of plastic in the oceans

The Issue:

For years the oceans have been regarded as a dumping ground. According to estimates there are 86 million tonnes of plastic in the oceans, more than 5 trillion pieces and most of them less than 5mm in size.

We’re adding 8 million tonnes to this every year and in some parts of the ocean,  plastic particles outnumber plankton by 26 to 1.

In 30 years, if we carry on this way, the weight of plastic in the oceans will be greater than the weight of fish.

Often the only time we come face to face with this marine debris is when we are walking along the beach, but what we don’t see is the damage that litter and discarded fishing gear do to wildlife. On Sea Shepherd campaigns all around the globe, we are seeing the effects of these plastics on sea birds, turtles, whales, dolphins and fish.
