Die Bedrohung & Unsere Aufgabe

Schätzungen zufolge werden bis 2025 über 250 Tonnen Plastik in unsere Meere gelangen. Der allein aus Plastikmüll entstehende Umweltschaden wird auf jährlich 13 Milliarden US$ geschätzt. Taucher sind häufig die ersten Zeugen der menschgemachten Auswirkungen auf die Unterwasserwelt. Außerdem sind sie in der besonderen Lage, Meeresmüll zu melden, zu entfernen und sich gegen seine Entstehung einzusetzen.

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.
