In honour of World Oceans Day (June 8) Eco Chic Cayman is proud to partner with Sage Larock and host a giveaway whilst, raising ocean awareness through our social media campaign focusing on topics including: plastic pollution, ghost nets and protecting coral reefs. This year, World Oceans Day theme is: “Preventing plastic pollution and encouraging solutions for a healthy ocean.” We couldn’t agree more with this very relevant call to action. Now more than ever, communities, companies, and organisations need to unite in a global effort to put an end to plastic pollution and unnecessary plastic packaging. We can all do our part to contribute to the end of plastic pollution, by taking a simple pledge to stop using single-use plastics is a great starting point. It is said, that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish if plastic pollution continues to escalate. Plastic is harmful to marine life and is often ingested as it is commonly mistaken as food. Reportedly, plastic is said to be having negative impacts and proving to be harmful to coral reefs. Not to mention, ghost nets and drift nets are highly dangerous to marine life. Unfortunately, marine life such as turtles, seals, whales and sharks become entangled in drift nets and if unable to break free the result is fatal.
