While the idea of garbage filled oceans is a scary thought, there is hope on the horizon. In this article we will explore how waste impacts our oceans and learn how living a zero waste lifestyle can help us protect our seas! 

Boating is an exciting and fun hobby that you can take part in year-round for business or simply, leisure. While boating is a relaxing and enjoyable activity, it can cause harm to marine life and the environment if you aren't cautious.

Keep reading for 5 tips to help you boat sustainably.

The shipping and marine tourism industries are significant contributors to climate change and global warming. As as result of the industry’s large environmental impact (pollution and harmful emissions), ship owners and marine tourism operators must minimize their environmental impact in order to operate more sustainably for the good of our planet.

Here are several tips to get started.

Oceans are home to some of the most beautiful places on earth. They house millions of animal species, affect weather patterns and support numerous human populations by providing food. Our oceans are magnificent natural resources that are unfortunately becoming more and more endangered by plastic pollution every year.

Read on to learn more about the impact of plastics on sea life and what you can do to prevent harmful plastic pollution.

A problem that has plagued most coastal regions is the fast rate of erosion. This problem has been hastened by climate change, prompting stronger and more frequent storms that cause more sand to retreat into the ocean. According to a 2020 study, half of the beaches worldwide will disappear by the end of the century.

In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the “hard and soft” solutions being used to prevent beach erosion and secure coastlines.

Despite pandemic shutdowns, carbon dioxide emissions surged in 2020 and entered the Earth’s atmosphere to further accelerate global warming. While 50% of this gas remained in the atmosphere, natural water cycles dumped 25% into the ocean, causing pH levels to increase dramatically.

In this blog, we will unpack the impact of ocean acidification on the food chain caused by changes to pH and the importance of meeting emissions goals to ensure that marine species continue to thrive.

Overfishing is a word that is used loosely to describe mass fishing at a scale that the ecosystem cannot keep up with. There are many reasons why overfishing happens: government subsidies, faulty regulations, lack of law enforcement, and a disproportionate number of large fisheries in first-world countries.

The worst part about all of this is that the very regulations and procedures put in place to prevent overfishing are the same ones causing it to happen. Let’s talk about it.

New technologies don’t always have the best reputation for being environmentally sustainable. Although, there is a new movement to use tech for good. There are many new up and coming methods for applying technologies as a way to alleviate the negative impacts that our environment is facing including the use of drones.

Researchers and conservationists are at the frontlines of discovering how drones can be used to gather data and monitor the environment. Read on to see how drones are changing the game of conservation!

World Water Day is a time to celebrate the beauty of our marine environment, its biodiversity and all of nature surrounded by water. It's also a time to reflect and give back to the planet. Individuals and corporations are contributing to climate change and pollution every day, whether it's through car emissions, factory waste or fossil fuels. Plastic pollution is something that's also harming the environment — specifically, our oceans.

In celebration of World Water Day, this blog will reflect and demystify the 3 main causes of ocean plastic pollution and provide solutions for how we can cut down our plastic footprint.
