Debris Free Seas
Plastic pollution is one of the most significant problems plaguing our ocean environment. Over 8 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans each year. It is estimated that plastics in our ocean will outnumber fish by the year 2050. Seabirds, turtles, fish, and dolphins commonly mistake plastic for food. Plastics also absorb toxic chemicals and pollutants that then weave their way up the food chain.
By working together, we can significantly curb plastic pollution.
Mahalo to all who make this event possible!
Maui’s International Coastal Cleanup event at Po’olenalena Beach Park is hosted by Hawaiian Paddle Sports and Hawai‘i Mermaid Adventures. The event is part of The Ocean Conservancy’s annual International Coastal Cleanup Event, held for over 30 years. During this time, nearly 12 million volunteers have removed over 220 million pounds of trash from our waterways and beaches.
