The ocean sustains us with the basic elements of life, it produces half of the oxygen in the air we breathe, and it is an essential part of the water cycle, providing the water we drink. The world’s beaches support ocean health, they provide habitat and nesting grounds for important ocean wildlife like sea turtles and sea birds. Ocean trash ranks as one of the most serious pollution problems of our time. Trash in the water and on the shore affects the health of people, wildlife and economies. We an help prevent trashed beaches and debris-filled water by reducing energy consumption, using fewer plastic products, taking care of the beach, supporting organizations to protect the ocean and much more.
