De Bedreiging van de Zee & Onze Rol

Naar schatting zal tot 2025 meer dan 250 miljoen ton plastic in onze zeeën terechtkomen. De milieuschade die alleen al door plastic afval wordt veroorzaakt, wordt geschat op 13 miljard dollar per jaar. Duikers zijn vaak de eersten die getuige zijn van menselijke impact op het mariene milieu. Zij bevinden zich in een unieke positie om te helpen door afval in zee te melden en te verwijderen. En door te helpen het probleem bij de bron aan te pakken.

Protecting What Matters

Since the program launched in 2011, divers have aided over 35,000 entangled marine animals and reported more than 2.4 million pieces of marine debris to inform groundbreaking research that is helping to create healthier oceans.
