We post a LOT of videos on our page of marine life suffering and dying from plastic pollution.
Well, here’s your chance to take action! June 8th-16th is Sea Turtle Week, and to celebrate, we want YOU to host an ocean clean up that ALSO celebrates the 2024 Global Ocean Cleanup Worldwide Event.
Last year over 3,100 people from 19 countries came together to host 50+ beach cleanups that removed 44 tons of trash from beaches.
What do you have to do? Simply grab some friends and family, head to your nearest beach, and clean! You can register, enter to win a $250 cash prize, and learn more at the link in our bio. Click on our bio and scroll to this post on our feed to be redirected.

Trawling Bycatch Tracker in Alaska captured this video of an orca that was a victim of bycatch. We’re unsure if the orca survived, but instances like this are very common onboard fishing vessles.
Bottom trawling captures everything in their path, including sharks, seabirds, marine turtles, and cetaceans(whales, dolphins, porpoises).
The nets are incredibly hard to see, blending in perfectly with the water and difficult for cetaceans to detect by echolocation.
It’s estimated that over 300,000 small whales, dolphins, and porpoises die from entanglement in fishing nets each year, making this the single largest cause of mortality for small cetaceans.
We must raise awareness about the devastation that trawling has on unintended species. Please share this video and speak up for these innocent victims.

Another critically endangered North Atlantic right whale has been found dead, this time off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Due to the advanced state of decomposition and limited photos, the exact cause of death was indeterminate, MARS said.
The latest death yet again renewed calls from nonprofit Oceana for more action to prevent right whaled deaths.
“The North Atlantic right whale carcasses are adding up, and possible extinction is getting closer,” Oceana Campaign Director Gib Brogan said. “The last population estimate released in 2023 said there are around 356 of these whales left on Earth, and we’ve watched many whales wash up on our shores since then. Each death is a devastating blow to their recovery.”
