Make Waves
Help keep our oceans wild!
What You Can Do
100,000 marine animals die every year when they eat or get caught in GARBAGE. Be sure to recycle plastic and keep litter off beaches. Even trash on the street can end up in the ocean!

Pollution from chemicals we use at home can harm ocean animals. So use cleansers and other household products that are ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE.
