OUR OBJECTIVES

OUR MISSION, VISION AND VALUES

AMERICA/CARIBBEAN

A recently published USAID white paper found that the plastic pollution problem is growing at an exponential rate and it is having negative impacts on marine life and biodiversity in the region.

EUROPE/MEDITERRANEAN

A new report from the WWF finds record levels of pollution from microplastics in the Mediterranean Sea.

There have been numerous sources of
pollution in this region which is, Landbased Pollution, Industrial/Sewage Waste, Oil Pollution, and Nuclear Pollution.

ASIA/PACIFIC

Warmer air and sea surface temperatures, ocean acidification, rising sea levels, and greater rainfall are expected to deplete significantly coral reefs, mangrove, seagrass, and intertidal habitats in this region.
