The “Imraguens” are a human group that settled on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in northwestern Mauritania. Since ancient times, the Imraguens have been distinguished from the rest of the Mauritanians by this ancient relationship with the ocean. Since ancient times, the Imraghi has been making its nets from the wool of local animals and trees to secure and meet its needs. However, the accumulation of this plastic waste can cause real harm to the surrounding environment in general. What are the most important environmental damages resulting from this phenomenon? Inability of beach plants to grow normally? Animals die from eating plastic waste? Ocean pollution with dead animals and plastic waste!? Who is primarily responsible for the accumulation of this waste? Regardless of what and who causes it, it is still necessary to remove it and dispose of it. #Mauritania #Imraguen #environment #pollution

🌊 Plastic pellets, known as nurdles, are causing a global environmental crisis, as revealed by the #PlasticSoupFoundation. These tiny particles contribute significantly to marine pollution, urging the need for urgent action to address their impact on our oceans. 🚨 The warning from the #EcoaquaInstitute about pellet residues lost by the Toconao vessel in Galicia adds urgency to the matter. Without prompt action, these pellets could quickly travel through the Atlantic –reaching the Canary Islands in just over a year–posing a serious threat to coastal areas and marine life. 🌍 Recent reports, like one by #Mongabay, offer hope by emphasizing the potential for positive change in combating plastic pellet pollution. How? 👉 By coordinating efforts across sectors, we can effectively reduce their impact on marine ecosystems, benefiting both wildlife and humans. It's time for awareness and collective decisive actions to protect our oceans from this global threat! 🌊 #PlasticPollution #Nurdles #OceanConservation #OceanLiteracy #Pellets #SDG14

Looking back on World Ocean Day, it was an incredible honor to shake hands with H.E Salim Mvurya EGH; The Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs in the Government of Kenya. As a zero plastic waste advocate, it's vital to highlight the urgent need to address plastic pollution's devastating effects on our blue economy. From disrupting marine ecosystems 🐚🦞to harming fisheries🎣🐟 and tourism🏖️🌊, plastics pose a grave threat to ocean-dependent industries⛴️. Together, let's champion sustainable practices to protect our oceans and ensure a thriving blue economy for generations to come. 🌊💙 #WorldOceanDay #ZeroPlasticWaste #BlueEconomy #Oceanliteracy #UNOceanDecade #TrashtalkInAction

WIDESPREAD MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION IN PERUVIAN MANGROVE SEDIMENTS New study shows that the mangroves of Tumbes, #Peru are extensively contaminated with #microplastic #pollution, and estimate that the local inhabitants are likely ingesting up to 430 plastic particles per year by consuming certain commercially-important species from this area. https://lnkd.in/eTnAKgm9

[PAPER 📑] Plastic Origins is present in the new handbook from the International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO/RIOB) and its partners, including the Partenariat français pour les déchets / French Solid Waste Partnership (FSWP), the ISWA International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), and the AFD - Agence Française de Développement. This handbook offers practical advice and solutions for managing and combating the transfer of waste and plastics into our precious aquatic environments.🌍 What’s Inside: - Assessment of Waste Management in relation to rivers and lakes. - Characterization and Quantification of plastic waste. - Impact Evaluation on aquatic ecosystems. - Pollution Sources Identification and practical solutions for mitigation. - Case Studies showcasing successful initiatives around the world, including the Plastic Origins project by the DPPM association on the Aa and Lys rivers in France, and the Beyond Plastic Med - BeMed+ project on the Shkumbin river in Albania. 🛠️ This handbook is a valuable tool for environmental professionals, waste and water resource managers, public authorities, and all stakeholders committed to addressing this pressing issue. It offers decision-support elements for implementing effective measures to combat aquatic pollution, from source to sea. 📘 Discover more and access the handbook here: https://lnkd.in/eB32Nzku #EnvironmentalProtection #WasteManagement #PlasticPollution #PlasticOrigins #WaterResources

Recently I visited Malabar coast and as I saw the waves touching the shores, a disheartening truth unfolds beneath the surface— neglect, apathy, and the silent suffering of our oceans. My recent visit to this picturesque region revealed more than just the beauty of the coastline; it laid harsh reality of ocean pollution, a pressing issue that demands our immediate attention and collective action. The Malabar coast once a pristine blue waters and black sand on beaches with amazing biodiversity, now bears the scars of our disregard for the environment. Plastic waste, discarded fishing gear, and other pollutants kills the very essence of this natural wonder. It is dismaying to witness the sea, a source of life and livelihood for countless communities, being transformed into a dumping ground for our negligence. Single use plastic has created nuance beyond expectations. It is not too late to reverse the tide of pollution, but we must act swiftly and decisively. Embracing responsible waste management, reducing single-use plastics, and supporting initiatives that promote ocean conservation are steps we can take to begin healing the wounds inflicted upon our marine ecosystems. Let us heed the call of the Malabar Coast, a call for awareness, responsibility, and a renewed commitment to preserving the beauty and vitality of our oceans. #wastemanagement #oceanconservation #marinelife #sustainability #plasticpollution

Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental challenges we face today in Nigeria” - Sonia Ugwunna . On September, 16th 2023, the Lagos Community SustyVibers spent the world clean up day at Dopemu Market, Lagos State. They cleaned up the market and educated community members on the dangers of plastic pollution. SustyVibes is one of the organizations leading action against plastic pollution, we hope this #SuccessStory inspire you to do more for our planet. #BioverseNG #Endplasticpollution #Biodiversity #beatplasticpollution #onewithnature Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany
