Carbon/Climate Change
Around 680 million people live in low-lying coastal zones – that is expected to increase to a billion by 2050
Oceans serve as the world’s largest source of protein
3 Billion People rely on marine life and the oceans for their livelihoods
Marine fisheries directly or indirectly employ over 200 million people
85% of our oceans are a their limits
53% fully exploited, 32% overexploited
9 million species of wildlife
34.2% of the ocean is overfished
Roughly 80% of marine and coastal pollution originates on land
By 2050, it’s estimated that there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans
Plastic Free Alternatives are necessary now more than ever
Oceans absorbs about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming
The ocean has become more acidic over the past few decades because of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Carbon emissions from human activities are causing ocean warming, acidification and oxygen loss
World's Carbon Uptake has risen for many years
How to help our oceans
Buy less plastic and use reusable bags
Use energy efficient lights and bulbs
Choose non-toxic chemicals
Recycle and be aware what you throw away
Conserve Water
Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and deaths
