Assisting the ocean: A guide

The ocean is facing issues like rising temperatures, harmful plastics, and dying coral reefs, which is worrisome. However, you can make a difference by making simple changes to your daily routine. For instance, opt for sustainably-sourced seafood and say goodbye to single-use plastics.

Numerous organizations are working on bigger issues related to oceans. For example, in Hilo, Hawaii, professors Cliff Kapono and John Burns are training individuals to map the globe's coral reefs before they vanish forever.

The Coral Reef Alliance combines cutting-edge technology and conservation methods to protect the world's coral reefs.

The Surfrider Foundation and The Ocean Conservancy tackle the various obstacles plaguing the oceans.

The Earth Island Institute's Plastic Pollution Coalition strives to eradicate toxic plastic pollution.

Their team of experts uses innovative technology to protect coral reefs, and our donation can help sustain their initiatives. Additionally, as a community, we can encourage our local US seafood vendors to source their products sustainably, reducing pressure on marine populations.
