18 Great Organizations Working To Save The Oceans

A healthy ocean with beautiful coasts and vibrant ocean wildlife is slipping away day by day.  The flow of waste, plastic and chemicals into the seas around the globe threatens the existence of marine species and ultimately humanmanity itself.  One report states that waste equivalent of a truckload enters our oceans every minute, 1,140 truckloads every day. Imagine 525,600 truckloads, approximately four tons each, of destructive waste each year? In addition to this, open ocean aquaculture is factory farming and not a solution for the ongoing strip mining of life from the seas. How are we going to end this crisis, create sustainability and save our oceans and their inhabitants?

By working together.
