Solution

The ocean is severely degraded by plastic pollution, as well as by other forms of pollution, overfishing, global warming, and other threats.

Pure Ocean funds research programs to understand and combat pollution, to preserve and restore marine life, and to innovate solutions to these problems. In 7 years, 39 scientific projects have been supported.

Here is an example of a project:
The REEF REBORN project has developed a lipid-based feed mixture for coral larvae that increases their survival rate by 46% and enhances their thermal resilience. This groundbreaking innovation for the ecological restoration of coral reefs has been selected by the Australian government to restore the Great Barrier Reef and is already becoming an international benchmark.

Use of the money

The funds raised will help finance new research projects aimed at combating pollution. This research may lead to solutions that have a positive impact on the health of the ocean—and, therefore, on human health as well. 
Why we love it?

Scientific research is the best way to measure the impact of pollution, and therefore to encourage its reduction. By contributing to its funding, we can effectively combat pollution and its consequences.
