Why should we care about the ocean? Because every person on the planet relies on it. We all need water to survive, and all water originates from the ocean. The ocean’s health is critical to the balance and well-being of our planet. Without it, most life on Earth would cease to exist.

These films are an introduction to the Ocean Discovery Day challenges - a set of workshops that enable teams to take on a meaningful challenge in order to become more plastic-intelligent as individuals and as a community.
