What you can do

Did you know that 80% of ocean pollution comes from land-based sources?

This is why what we do on land matters for the oceans. It's why we have to pressure our governments for stronger policies and regulations on things like plastic production, wastewater and runoff management, and climate change.

It's also why our individuals' actions matter too - what we put down the drain, our diet, our energy use, what we feed our lawn or gardens. It's all connected.

 

Here are some Petitions that can aid in ocean protection 🐋

Call for stronger nature laws (better enforcement and stronger penalties) under Australia’s EPBC Act and other marine protections. Add your name.
