They say humans are the most intelligent species on the planet!

Where is the intelligence?

"CLEANING" THE OCEAN USING NETS IS A DANGEROUS IDEA.

The Ocean Cleanup is using boats & a net to collect ocean plastic (left). I've circles all the animals trapped in their early prototypes (right).

There are better ways to solve the ocean plastic problem... 🧵

Mangrove propagules found floating along with debris during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, mangrove, and coral protection efforts together – mangroves have been shown to lower ocean acidification. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #Cleanup #Mangroves

“Oh look, some Cotton Candy!”🎉

While jellyfish are a staple food for many species, sea turtles are increasingly threatened by plastic pollution, as plastic bags in the ocean closely resemble their prey.

The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, yet human activity is changing it faster than ever. Plastic pollution, overfishing, shipping, coastal development, oil spills and climate change are putting enormous pressure on marine life and the ecosystems we depend on.

Wow, how did they know I was going to throw this bottle into the ocean when I am done with it?

But what do we give back to the ocean? Plastic pollution. Oil spills. Overfishing. Ghost nets. Chemical waste. Bottom trawling. Rising temperatures. Ocean acidification. Extinction.💔

Ocean Cleanup's redesigned system just completed its first successful haul from the Pacific Garbage Patch, pulling out plastic ranging from microplastics to ghost fishing nets.

And perhaps the most uncomfortable part is that we call it our ocean, our beach and our planet, while leaving behind waste that other species are forced to live with long after we've gone. If every species left behind as much waste as humans do, the ocean wouldn't survive us.

We can make a world without plastic that’s healthier for people and our ocean planet.

the term 'recycled ocean plastic' is part of the problem. There is no such thing as 'ocean plastic'.

Every choice matters. Reducing plastic, choosing plant-based meals, supporting marine protected areas, avoiding unsustainable seafood, and speaking up for ocean conservation all help protect the blue heart of our planet.

The Ocean Cleanup is bad. I have yet to meet a single credentialed ocean plastic pollution expert who thinks "drag a giant net through the ocean and scoop out the plastic" is a good idea, and I've been asking for a decade.

Stop supporting feel-good-but-harmful pseudoscientific nonsense.
The Dark Side of Ocean Cleanup Technology
Some marine biologists think the trash-collecting machines are harming more ocean organisms than they’re helping.

The ocean we see today carries our footprint.Plastic drifting through currents. Ghost nets trapping wildlife. Overfishing emptying ecosystems. Coral reefs fading. Noise and pollution changing a world that cannot speak for itself. The ocean does not need us to survive.But we need the ocean to survive

Los Angeles is using a solar-powered vessel developed by Ocean Cleanup to capture thousands of pounds of river-borne waste before it reaches the Pacific Ocean, part of a broader effort to curb marine plastic pollution by targeting its sources upstream. ehsciences.acemlnc.com/lt.php?x=4lZ...

“Signing the order in the Oval Office last night, he told reporters: "We're going back to plastic straws.
"I don't think plastic is going to affect a shark very much, as they're munching their way through the ocean."

The choices we make today will determine whether future generations inherit forests or factories, clean rivers or toxic waste, life or mere survival. We may well be the last generation with the power to stop it. The future is not something that happens to us; it is something we create.
