Eight million tonnes of plastic end up in the sea yearly, killing wildlife, clogging fishing nets and sometimes ending up on dinner plates.

​

If trends continue, the oceans could contain more plastic than fish by 2050 (UNEP). A lot of this ends up on our beaches. NEMA (2018) estimated that from a baseline survey of 2014, beach litter in 3 Kenyan counties had increased by 40%.

 

Oceans Alive work with various women's groups to collect plastic to be sold to recycling organisation along the Kenya coast.

 

We organise regular beach clean-ups to educate and for team building.
