Inicio / Conservación / AWARE: Marine Debris

La Amenaza y Nuestro Papel

Se estima que más de 250 millones de toneladas de plástico llegarán a nuestro océano para el 2025. El daño ambiental causado por los desechos plásticos solo se estima en 13 mil millones de dólares al año. Los/as buceadores/as son a menudo los primeros en presenciar el impacto humano en el medio marino y están en una posición única para ayudar a informar, eliminar y defender la detención de los desechos marinos en su origen.

Protecting What Matters

Since the program launched in 2011, divers have aided over 35,000 entangled marine animals and reported more than 2.4 million pieces of marine debris to inform groundbreaking research that is helping to create healthier oceans.
