Big Blue Ocean Cleanup
Big Blue Ocean Cleanup
8 million metric tons of plastic trash enters the sea from land every year, the equivalent of five plastic bags filled with trash for every foot of coastline in the world. Ocean trash is dispersed almost everywhere through global currents, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces and being ingested by species across the marine world and sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Protecting and restoring the world’s oceans requires a global effort, combining cleanups, innovation, and education to create lasting change. By addressing pollution, promoting sustainable practices, and raising awareness, we can ensure that the oceans remain healthy and resilient for future generations. The time to act is now..
Our planet depends on it!!
WHO?
Big Blue Ocean Cleanup is a leading international ocean conservation non-profit organisation taking action against ocean pollution. Their mission, to protect and restore the world’s oceans through global cleanups, innovative conservation efforts, and education.
WHY?
The world’s oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface and playing a critical role in regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining millions of livelihoods. However, pollution, overfishing, and climate change threaten ocean health. Therefore it is crucial to invest efforts into protecting and restoring them. Global cleanups, innovative conservation strategies, and education are essential to reversing damage and ensuring that future generations can continue to benefit from the ocean’s resources.
HOW?
Organized cleanup efforts, such as The Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, not only reduce immediate threats but also raise awareness about the broader issue of marine pollution. By supporting large-scale and community-driven cleanups, we can mitigate the damage caused by human activity and work toward long-term solutions.Education is another powerful tool in ocean conservation, Big Blue Ocean Cleanup plays a key role in spreading awareness about ocean health and inspiring action. Teaching people about the importance of marine ecosystems fosters a sense of responsibility and encourages sustainable habits.

Every person counts!
Throughout my life I have been hugely connected to the water, from surfing in the waves to sailing on the ocean. I am a professional sailor -It is my job and it is my passion. I depend on the ocean, as it is my workplace and place to do the sport that I love. Our ocean’s need to be protected and I am therefore connecting my passions of both sailing and ocean conservation by partnering with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup.
Southern X Racing is proud to partner with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and support them in their quest to rid the oceans of plastic.
“Together, we can turn the tide on ocean pollution and create a cleaner, healthier planet. Join the movement to protect our oceans and secure a brighter future for all!”
