Sea Life Trust
global clean up
Every year, the SEA LIFE TRUST leads a global beach and waterway clean-up, calling on friends from around the world to join this vital mission.
It’s shocking to realize that 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter our oceans annually, and by 2050, there may be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
