Clean The Bay is a clean up initiative started by a group of everyday, eco-conscious individuals who care for their bay. Everyday, every bay.
381 million tonnes
of plastic waste is produced yearly around the world. 50% is single-use plastic & only 9% has ever been recycled.
1 in 3 fish caught
for human consumption contains plastic. By 2021 the number of plastics in the sea will be higher than the number of fish.
165 million tonnes
of plastic currently circulates in Earth’s marine environments, contaminating the most remote places on Earth.
1% of marine litter
floats, everything else sinks to the sea floor and has been found as far as 11km deep.
More than 1 million
seabirds and 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year.
79% of plastic waste
is sent to landfills or the ocean, while only 9% is recycled, and 12% gets incinerated.
