Rallying for Clean Seas: Collective Action Essential to Protect Our Oceans for Future Generations

Another important step in keeping our seas clean is minimizing runoff from land. Chemicals from fertilizers, pesticides, and other pollutants can find their way into oceans through rivers and streams. Community gardens and the use of organic farming practices can help reduce this harmful runoff. By promoting native plant species that require less water and fewer chemicals, communities can minimize their impact on nearby waterways, ultimately benefiting the oceans.
