United Action for
Save our Oceans
4 charities
Human actions have threatened the delicate balance of our oceans, reducing the rich biodiversity of marine ecosystems at an alarming rate. We need to act now to save our oceans. Our United Action bundles the very best performing charities saving our oceans, so you can donate to several solutions at once.
The problem
Overfishing, pollution and waste disposal, agricultural runoff, invasive alien species, sewage, pesticides, industrial chemicals, other types of waste.
This never ending list of human interference is threatening the delicate balance of our oceans. Global climate change is raising the sea level, increasing the water temperature, and acidifying seawater.
We’re losing the rich biodiversity of marine ecosystems at an alarming rate. We need to act now to save our oceans.
Solutions
There are organisations doing crucial work to tackle ocean pollution, overfishing, and climate change, however, in order to solve the problem from its root cause more novel research and interdisciplinary problem-solving approaches are needed.
Saving the oceans requires a global commitment. We need to raise public awareness even more and implement international laws and policies to protect the biodiversity of our waters.
The organisations we picked for this appeal address the problem from different angles, from ocean plastics to sustainable fishing. With your support, you will contribute to a holistic solution.
