Today is World Oceans Day. After decades of pollutions by humans, the world’s oceans are on the tipping point for collapse with millions of tons of toxic microplastic particles. In just a few years, the volume of microplastic particles will exceed that of plankton, turning our oceans into a huge sea of plastic. This publication entitled “Plastic Ocean: Art and Science Responses to Marine Pollution” brings together numerous international art projects related to environmental activities and offers an interdisciplinary perspective across the arts and a wide range of disciplines, sounding the alarm about this ecological crisis.

Today is the International Coastal Cleanup!

Find marine debris projects in your region:

In this section, you can find state or region-specific information on current marine debris projects and activities. Marine debris impacts e

Whether you’re participating in an organized cleanup event today or not, head out to your favorite beach today and do what you can to fight marine debris.

Not near a beach? You can still help keep our ocean clean by keeping your local streams and rivers clear of trash, using reusable shopping bags and drink containers, opting not to use plastic straws if you don’t need them, and spreading the word about the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy ocean.

The marine animal wants to live in the free ocean, not inside the plastic world. Please reduce or prohibit the use of plastic products. Let plastic oceans become fewer and fewer. Give nature and marine life a clean marine home！

Threats to Seabirds: Plastics⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Plastics are a threat to all marine life. Here in Northern New Zealand, there's a lot we don't know about how much plastic there is floating around in our marine ecosystems, and how much it's impacting on seabirds. From research done elsewhere, we know that some species are more likely than others to mistake plastic for food, or to end up eating plastic because of the way they forage or the prey they eat. Storm petrels like this White-faced storm petrel have been identified as a group of seabirds that may be at particular risk of eating plastics, because they forage at the water surface. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Reducing our plastic waste is hugely important, as well as cleaning up the messes we've already made. ⠀⠀ Three ways you can help:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ - Reduce single-use plastics in your life, say no to that straw or takeaway cup⠀⠀ - Take part in a beach clean up, or just remove whatever rubbish you find when walking along the shore - keep eye out for discarded fishing gear, which is the most common and often most dangerous plastic to marine life⠀⠀ - Petition for supermarkets to reduce unnecessary plastic packaging⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #seabird #seabirdstory #petrel #plasticocean #oceanplastic #bird_lovers_daily #plasticpollution #conservationphotographer #plasticfreeforthesea #bird_illife #wildlifeconservation #conservationphotography #seachange #zerowaste #marine #ocean #threatenedspecies #birds_adored #birds_brilliance #birdsofinstagram #newzealand #aotearoa #haurakigulf #sustainability #extinction https://www.instagram.com/p/BygPJLdAqzp/?igshid=1niolxgfe2w2

Abundant levels of microplastic pollution have been found in snow from the Arctic to the Alps, according to a study that has prompted scientists to warn of significant contamination of the atmosphere and demand urgent research into the potential health impacts on people. 🐧🐧🌨
