Rapid economic growth and fast-expanding populations have led to a global plastic pollution crisis too big and too complex to solve alone. Our mission is to reduce the amount of plastic made and stop it polluting our people, our economies and our planet.

We provide the right people with the right tools to navigate the complexity of tackling waste at source and deliver new ways to manage and re-use plastic. Our research and work on the ground harness the collective expertise of people, governments and businesses to implement action in their own communities to halt the threats of Ocean plastic.

Common Seas is a Community interest companyWikipedia-W.svg founded by Joanna Royle in May.2012,ref to reduce marine plastic pollution and to demonstrate fully documented inshore fisheries. Read Jo Royle's very impressive bio on LinkedIn.

Projects

Clean Blue Alliance

Our vision is a global network of plastic waste-free islands. We are working with govts, councils, businesses and local changemakers to identify and accelerate the solutions that have the biggest impact in reducing the plastic leaking into their seas. The Clean Blue Alliance connects islanders to share experiences, combine strengths, develop assets and build on models that work.

Healthy Me. Healthy Sea

We are researching the health effects of breathing in and eating tiny plastic particles.

Plastic Drawdown

There are many ways countries can reduce their plastic pollution, but what works best?

Ocean Academy

Common Seas wants to inspire a generation of sea champions, and we are working with schools to put plastic pollution and the Ocean into the school curriculum. We convened a group of education leaders, teachers, plastics experts and marine researchers to see how children can learn about the Ocean and plastic and gain the knowledge needed to solve the problems it poses.
