Let’s learn not to throw waste into the sea – let’s save it from microplastics!

On the beach, on a boat, or during an outing, many people leave behind waste such as plastic bottles, toys, shopping bags, and sunscreen containers. These behaviours contribute to the problem of microplastics — tiny but harmful to the marine ecosystem.

Recent studies have found microplastics in both animals and humans, posing risks to health.

Educating people to respect the sea is essential.
