To inspire, educate and enable people
to look
after the places we all love.
If you’ve just found us, it’s nice to meet you.
Sustainable Coastlines is a young, multi-award
winning New Zealand charity run by a small team of hard-working staff
and a network of passionate volunteers and interns. Our mission is to inspire,
educate and enable others to look after the places we love.
We love our coasts and we work with our sleeves
rolled up to keep them beautiful. We coordinate and support large-scale coastal
clean-up events, educational programs, public awareness campaigns and riparian
planting projects. We also help groups run their own events. Through these
efforts we motivate volunteers and communities around Aotearoa and the Pacific
to look after the beaches and rivers we love.
When we leave
litter lying around, it travels out to sea through drains, streams, lagoons,
estuaries and rivers. Once in our oceans, rubbish harms and kills sea
creatures, who get caught in it or mistake it for food. Toxins from plastics
poison our seafood and rubbish on land makes a perfect home for mosquitos to
breed and spread disease.

to keep up to date with what we're doing to look after our coastlines.
The sea of plastic
Plastic pollution in the oceans
represents a major global environmental challenge. At a global scale, man-made
debris has been observed to accumulate in remote areas of the ocean in large
circulating gyres. The source of this plastic is assumed to be mostly land
based, however little is known about the relative contribution of different
land based sources to each gyre.
10 Things you can do to Save the Ocean
Mind Your Carbon Footprint and Reduce Energy Consumption
Reduce
the effects of climate change on the ocean by leaving the car at home when you
can and being conscious of your energy use at home and work. A few things you
can do to get started today: Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, take
the stairs, and bundle up or use a fan to avoid oversetting your thermostat.
Global
fish populations are rapidly being depleted due to demand, loss of habitat, and
unsustainable fishing practices. When shopping or dining out, help reduce the
demand for overexploited species by choosing seafood that is both healthful and
sustainable.
5. Don't Purchase Items That Exploit Marine Life
Certain
products contribute to the harming of fragile coral reefs and marine
populations. Avoid purchasing items such as coral jewelry, tortoiseshell hair
accessories (made from hawksbill turtles), and shark products.
6. Be an Ocean-Friendly Pet Owner
Read
pet food labels and consider seafood sustainability when choosing a diet for
your pet. Never flush cat litter, which can contain pathogens harmful to marine
life. Avoid stocking your aquarium with wild-caught saltwater fish, and never
release any aquarium fish into the ocean or other bodies of water, a practice
that can introduce non-native species harmful to the existing ecosystem.
7. Support Organizations Working to Protect the Ocean
Many
institutes and organizations are fighting to protect ocean habitats and marine
wildlife. Find a national organization and consider giving financial support or
volunteering for hands-on work or advocacy. If you live near the coast, join up
with a local branch or group and get involved in projects close to home.
8. Influence Change in Your Community
Research
the ocean policies of public officials before you vote or contact your local
representatives to let them know you support marine conservation projects.
Consider patronizing restaurants and grocery stores that offer only sustainable
seafood, and speak up about your concerns if you spot a threatened species on
the menu or at the seafood counter.
9. Travel the Ocean Responsibly
Practice
responsible boating, kayaking, and other recreational activities on the water.
Never throw anything overboard, and be aware of marine life in the waters
around you. If you’re set on taking a cruise for your next vacation, do some
research to find the most eco-friendly option.
10. Educate Yourself About Oceans and Marine Life
All
life on Earth is connected to the ocean and its inhabitants. The more you learn
about the issues facing this vital system, the more you’ll want to help ensure
its health—then share that knowledge to educate and inspire others.
a marine environment that is
healthy, sustainable and productive for all living creatures, free from plastic
pollution. We believe that together, we can combat the crisis through
research, education, and action. Do you share our vision?

We fought to raise awareness of our shorelines as a
