Help over 90 orphaned baby elephants

Project Ocean is The Perfect World Foundation's overall marine project whose purpose is to engage everyone to help pick up plastic from our oceans and along coasts and beaches, with the goal of spreading knowledge about the impact of plastic litter on our oceans. The project also aims to, among other things, locate, pick up, recycle and reuse lost fishing equipment, so-called ghost nets. Researchers estimate that there are more than 150 million tonnes of plastic in our oceans, and an additional 5–13 million tonnes of plastic are added each year. And as much as 80% of all plastic waste in the sea comes from our activities on land. By 2050, it is estimated that there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans, if litter continues at the same rate. Lost fishing equipment, nets, nets and cages are the biggest contributing factor to microplastics in our seas. Every year, more than 600,000 tons of fishing equipment are lost in the sea, which continues to "ghost fish" for hundreds of years, if it remains. With Project Ocean, we also work to spread knowledge and support innovations and activities to enable the location, salvage, recycling and reuse of lost fishing equipment, so-called ghost nets. Our vision is zero ghost nets in our oceans.
