Did You Know?

Each year, millions of tonnes of plastic enter our oceans from littering, rivers, and even fishing gear. This is disastrous for wildlife. Seabirds, especially fulmars, mistake plastic for food, causing injury and starvation. Shockingly, 93% of fulmars have plastic in their stomachs! You can help by reducing plastic use, recycling, and picking up litter to protect wildlife and their habitats.
