The ocean absorbs our heat.
It also carries our waste.
Nearly all of this starts on land and ends up here.

There are limits to what it can take.

We need a law to bring the Coastal Marine Strategy to life As British Columbia focuses on strengthening BC’s economic security in a world in turmoil, it should be putting significant energy into an existing marine policy, including strengthening it through la...

Healthy coasts are critical for human safety and security, and responsible economic mgmt. A new coastal marine law (and amendments to existing laws) could:
🔹Address #MarinePollution & contaminated seafood
🔹Protect coastal habitats
🔹Facilitate shoreline restoration
🔹Recognize/standardize marine plans

Following our article about plastic additives in marine turtles (lnkd.in/exEkcwqN), here we investigate their exposure to PFAS (lnkd.in/e2Mfip8b) and we analyze two biomarkers of stress. 🌊

海の上、イカダに乗ったフレンチブルドッグ。 見渡す限り、ゴミだらけの海に驚いています。 かわいさの中に、静かな問いかけを込めて。 「この海、本当にこのままでいいの？」 ポップな表現で、海洋汚染の現実をやさしく伝えます。 A French Bulldog sits on a raft, surrounded by floating trash. Its wide-eyed surprise asks a quiet question: “Is this really the ocean we want?” Through playful colors and gentle style, this piece speaks out against marine pollution.

Strengthening Canada’s marine pollution laws: Private Member’s Bill C-244, the Clean Coasts Act The Clean Coasts Act (Private Members Bill C-244) could make a real difference in addressing the most common ocean-based sources of marine pollution in Canada's waters.

The Clean Coasts Act (Private Member’s Bill C-244) aims to close gaps in the legal framework that enable common types of #MarinePollution in the first place. Check out our blog where we explain how these legal changes work, and why we need them 👇

New federal legislation targets marine pollution and derelict vessels Bill C-244 targets marine dumping and derelict vessels to protect coastal waters

MP Patrick Weiler acknowledged the frustration shared by residents and advocates. “Coastal communities have carried the burden of #MarinePollution for far too long. [The Clean Coasts Act] ensures that those who pollute our oceans are finally held accountable.” #MarineDumping

Is the well-known claim about 80:20 land-to-sea pollution ratio still accurate?

Why those bottle caps are a good idea! AN EU DIRECTIVE WAS ENACTED IN JULY 2024, REQUIRING THAT ALL SINGLE-USE BOTTLES HAVE CAPS THAT REMAIN ATTACHED. • In 2023, plastic bottle lids were among the top ten litter items found in rivers and the ocean. • In the UK, 2023 beach surveys listed bottle lids as the third most common type of litter • On the Dutch North Sea coastline, surveys recorded up to 128 bottle caps for each kilometer of beach in 2016. • Bottle caps are also one of the most common items consumed by marine animals. Made with a more buoyant type of plastic, bottle caps also travel further across oceans than the bottles. The tether creates one item of litter, not two, that is easier to pick up and less likely to be eaten.

💧 A lot of people seem to be unhappy with the EU directive on tethered bottle caps. 🙁

We love it! 😃

It’s a simple fix for a serious problem.
