Join me to clean up all of the plastic and other pollution along this popular swimming site for kids and adults alike. Cleaning beaches in our area and wherever we go helps minimising the amount of rubbish ending up in our oceans. This is a self-assigned task I do whenever I visit the beach. This simple action done by many can make a huge difference and save our marine life.
All waterways on all continents lead to the ocean. Annually these global "aqueous highways" carry millions of tons of human-generated plastic waste to oceans. The problem is getting worse each year.
More than 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year, equal to dumping a garbage truck of plastic every minute. As much as 80 percent of all litter in our oceans is made of plastic. According to a report presented at the 2017 United Nations Marine Conference, as many as 51 trillion micro-plastic particles, 500 times more than the stars in our galaxy, litter our oceans and seas, seriously threatening marine wildlife.
There will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050 if this rate of plastic pollution continues, so every bit of assistance would be appreciated.
