BEACH BIN & BAG
VRIPAK
Annually, there are over seven billion tons of debris deposited on beaches around the world. The pollution of beaches negatively impacts the natural balance of costal ecosystems and the health of our oceans.
Plastic contributes to the bulk of the tons of discarded rubbish and washed-up debris. Reducing this pollution through beach clean-ups significantly helps allow our important coastal ecosystems to exist and thrive.
Inspired and actively engaged, Ocean Family Foundation has partnered with North Sails, the global leader in sailmaking, and Vripack, the innovative yacht design studio, to develop waste bins and bags from reclaimed sails specifically for beach cleanups.
Ocean Family Foundation, North Sails and Vripack actively promote beach cleanups among yacht owners and crew and with the Beach Bin And Bag initiative we heighten awareness of the amount of plastic waste on our shores that we can easily pick up and remove before it enters the ocean and our marine systems.
With this simple approach take the pledge here https://vripack.com/new-wave/beach-bin-and-bag to receive the bags and be part of the solution!

BEACH CLEAN UPS WORLD WIDE

Oceans Family Foundation are proud to support these programmes
OCEANS WITHOUT
BORDERS

PLASTIC POLLUTION 🫣
By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastic pollution in the ocean is a pressing issue we can`t ignore!
To really #SaveOurOceans, we must focus on preventing plastic waste from entering rivers and seas altogether. Enhancing waste management systems and promoting recycling are crucial steps. We`re facing species extinction and ecosystem destruction.
This week, the second session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution are being held in Paris, at the @unesco headquarters. While there is growing consensus on the need for an international legally binding treaty on plastic pollution, this week will see many interesting debates and negotiations talk.
Both @aplasticplanet and @trashheroworld are in attendance.

BABY SHARKS 🦈
@savethemedfoundation Birth and release of baby sharks - helping to recover endangered species.
In Mallorca, 155 nursehound sharks (Scyliorhinus stellaris) have been born in captivity from shark eggs cases found by local fishermen, as part of the collaborative project "Small Sharks - Stellaris Action" in which Save the Med Foundation participates. 16 of the larger pups have now been released in the Cabrera National Park and more will be released in other protected areas the near future. The scientists hope to use the knowledge gained through this pilot project to help recover other endangered or threatened shark.
