Pillar & Approaches

Reduce Marine Pollution

The escalating plastic crisis threatens marine life, annually, 11 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans, joining an existing 200 million metric tons. There is a critical and pressing need to reduce the volume of plastics and other debris currently polluting marine ecosystems. Milkywire supports organizations that are involved in plastic reduction and other cleanup efforts aimed at minimizing waste in the oceans.
