ROcD

We are a nonprofit based on Okinawa Japan who provide science education about our Ocean ecosystem and ways to protect it. Oh, and we pick up trash too.🦑🐙🌏

Scientists are clear that we need to be protecting at least 30% of our oceans by 2030 if they are going to be able to stand a chance of recovery and be sustainable.

During this swim, I’ve seen virtually no wildlife – aside from a few birds, a few dolphins and one turtle. It shows that our oceans have been very badly over-fished.

[Lewis Pugh @LewisPugh]

I have also seen plastic on every beach from Land's End to Dover. We have taken the fish out of the ocean and replaced them with plastic.

[ROcD @RyukyuOceanDef]

@LewisPugh you are one of our #OceanHeros and we proud of you. Thank you for raising awareness of our oceans plight.

The ocean is so much more than fish! Think carbon cycle, think climate, think the chemistry of the planet that has shaped all life on Earth.

Sometimes, fishing gear – for one reason or another – gets lost at sea. #GhostNets make up a significant portion of #MarineLitter. Fishermen are already contributing to the solution, but we need to do more. This is what our #PlasticsStrategy is about: https://t.co/whVdyX459z
