Dame Ellen MacArthur emphasizes the need for bold, urgent action against plastic pollution. A comprehensive 2020 study, "Breaking the Plastic Wave," by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, reveals a stark future: without intervention, ocean plastic entering the environment will nearly triple by 2040, and total ocean stocks will quadruple. This aligns with earlier warnings that plastic could outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050.

The study confirms that a circular economy for plastic is the only effective solution, a vision already embraced by over 850 organizations globally. Discover more about this critical research and its pathways to stopping ocean plastic pollution here.

In July 2020, The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, released "Breaking the Plastic Wave." This robust study on ocean plastic pollution revealed that without action, plastic volume will double, ocean entry will almost triple, and ocean stocks will quadruple by 2040. This aligns with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 warning of more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.

The study emphasizes that a circular economy for plastic is the sole solution to tackle waste and pollution at its source. This vision already unites over 850 organizations through the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and Plastics Pact network. Learn more about the study here.

Endangered Blanding's turtle hatchlings begin their journey into the wild. These turtles can live 80 years, but their population is critically threatened by predation, disease, habitat destruction, and human collection.

In 2011, a Center petition secured CITES protection for Blanding's turtles. The Center, joined by renowned scientists like E.O. Wilson, further petitioned in 2012 for U.S. Endangered Species Act protection for the turtle and 52 other threatened amphibians and reptiles.

While not yet federally protected in the U.S., Blanding's turtles are safeguarded by state laws in several states.

North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered, with only about 400 individuals remaining. Fatal ship strikes and fishing gear entanglements are primary threats, causing deaths to outnumber births. Oceana Canada advocates for mandatory speed limits in key passages like the Cabot Strait to prevent further fatalities.

Oceana's Ship Speed Watch is an innovative tool that monitors ship speeds and positions in whale habitats along the East Coast. Utilizing AIS data, it displays restriction zones, emphasizing how enforced speed limits can prevent deadly collisions—a leading cause of whale injury and death.

Oceana research shows Amazon customers, especially Prime members, are deeply concerned about plastic pollution and its impact on oceans. With increased online shopping, they overwhelmingly want Amazon and other major retailers to offer plastic-free packaging choices.

Amazon shipped an estimated 7 billion packages globally in 2019, often using plastic that contributes to the 17.6 billion pounds entering our oceans annually, devastating marine life. Amazon can significantly reduce this pollution by providing customers with plastic-free options.

Learn more about the campaign here. Tell Amazon to offer plastic-free packaging by signing the petition. Stay connected with Oceana: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

Rapid human population growth and overconsumption drive critical environmental crises, including the wildlife extinction crisis, habitat loss, and climate change. The Center uniquely tackles these sensitive issues that many environmental groups often overlook.

Our common-sense solutions focus on empowering women and girls, ensuring universal access to reproductive healthcare and education, and developing healthy, secure food systems. We also engage the public through initiatives like distributing over 1 million Endangered Species Condoms with memorable slogans.

Timed with World Population Day on July 11, this presentation features Kelley Dennings, Population and Sustainability Campaigner, and Sarah Baillie, Endangered Species Condoms coordinator, to discuss our vital work.

This webinar, recorded on June 22, 2020, features James George and Nikki Kapp from the Foundation, alongside Marianne Richeux (Brambles) and Sam Jones (DS Smith). They discuss Circulytics, the most comprehensive and free tool for measuring circular economy performance.

Developed by the Foundation, Circulytics helps businesses assess their circularity. During the session, Marianne and Sam present their companies' scorecards, illustrating how Circulytics has supported their journey towards a circular economy.

Over 8 million tons of plastic pollute our oceans annually, devastating wildlife, beaches, and ecosystems. The facilities producing this plastic, often in low-income areas, also poison local air

Over 8 million tons of plastic pollute our oceans annually, devastating wildlife, beaches, and ecosystems. The facilities producing this plastic, often in low-income areas, also poison local air and water.

This week's conversation will address fighting plastic pollution at its source. We'll discuss the industry's planned production increase, our strategies to stop it, and why recycling isn't a viable solution.

The presentation features Julie Teel Simmonds, Senior Attorney, and Delia Ridge Creamer, Oceans Campaigner, from the Center.
