Common Seas believe in healthy seas for all. Their mission is to quickly and significantly reduce the amount of plastic polluting the oceans - something that is more crucial now than ever. A small but very mighty and influential team, they have been making a huge local and international impact through four key projects, which centre around research, education, and engagement with governments, corporations and schools.
