Empowering SHE -
Protecting the SEA
Some of the problems the ocean faces are single use plastics, pesticide runoffs, marine habitat destruction and over fishing.
We are living in a plastic world. It's in our soaps, our clothes, it wraps our food and holds our water, then we carry our plastic goods out with a plastic bag. In turn our seas have turned into a plastic soup, beaches filled with plastic bits and at least 700 different marine species are affected by plastic pollution. Estimates suggest that 100 thousand marine mammals are killed each year from plastic pollution. - STM
Mermaid Edelina pledged with Save The Mermaids Organization to waste less and to try not to use single use plastics. She also participated in their #stmplasticfreejuly challenge. Edelina will continue to do beach clean ups and educate young people about the impact of plastic pollution has on the health of our ocean and coastal waters.
