Plastic consumption has quadrupled over the past 30 years – driven by growing markets, single-use products, and demand for convenience.
As a result, more and more plastic ends up in our ocean. In fact, it’s estimated that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic there now.

Fact: 38% of fish stocks worldwide were exploited beyond sustainable levels in 2021.
A @WTO agreement could curb the $22 billion a year in subsidies that drive overfishing—but only if it’s strengthened to fully address overfishing and overcapacity. pew.org/4dJzKUh

Whaling lies. Whale meat accounts for only 0.1% of the meat consumed in Japan 🇯🇵.
It's not a food tradition.🚫🐋
Whaling is not a significant contributor to Japan’s economy. 📈Only 300 people out of 125 million are directly connected to industry.

We are only beginning to understand the ecology of the #DeepOcean. We have exploited, altered and destroyed so much already in the more accessible areas of the blue planet. Let's not repeat the same mistakes #StopDeepseaMining eenews.net/articles/scientis…
