Marine Conservation with Global Reach

The marine conservation NGO OceanCare has been committed to healthy, resilient oceans since 1989 – science-based, independent, and internationally connected. Since 2011, OceanCare holds UN Special Consultative Status on marine protection.

Plastic Pollution
The Long-Lasting
Problem

Technology-intensive ocean clean-ups often cause more harm than good. Their use requires the utmost caution and restraint.
