Saving our seas starts with you! Each year, at least 8 million tons of plastic leak into the ocean – that’s the equivalent of a dump truck full every minute. Trash from the land that has made its way to the ocean kills millions of seabirds, turtles, whales, and other animals every year. Pollution from the burning of fossil fuels – for transportation, making plastics, heating our homes, and more – is changing the very chemistry of the ocean, threatening the entire food web. And a warming climate makes it difficult for many animals to find food and safe habitats.
