Ocean plastic pollution is a symptom of a larger systemic problem. As it is not a one-dimensional problem, we are working to solve it from different angles. | The Ocean Cleanup

This is what pollution really looks like. It doesn’t just impact the ocean, it affects all of us. Every piece of trash on this shoreline threatens marine life, contaminates ecosystems, and makes its way back to us through the food we eat and the water we drink. It’s not distant. It’s daily. And it’s why we keep showing up. #OceanPollution #CoastalCrisis #MarineDebris #ThisIsTheImpact #ProtectWhatMatters #4ocean | 4ocean
