On Thursday September 24th the Shiseido Blue Project and partners WildCoast headed out to the Huntington Beach Open for a day of beach cleanups and fun! Joined by Ashley Wahler, Janel Parrish, and Actor Sam Trammell, a group of volunteers geared up with some Shiseido sunscreen and hit the sand to clean up trash. The Shiseido Blue project is an initiative in partnership with the World Surf League, PURE and Wildcoast that aims to inspire, educate, and empower ocean protection. This global initiative launched in 2019 with a range of activities to protect the ocean, including cleaning up beaches, leading global conservation campaigns like We Are One Ocean, and promoting ocean-and sun-safe habits.
I spoke to actor and surfer Sam Trammell about the event and got his top tips for enjoying a day at the beach while being conscious of the ocean and environment. According to Sam he always tries to take out more than he brings in by not leaving trash behind and uses ocean safe sunscreen when possible.
About 17.6 billion pounds of debris ends up in the world's oceans every year. This is equivalent to nearly 57,000 blue whales.
There are 5 giant garbage patches in our oceans. The largest — the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — includes an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of trash and covers an area nearly twice the size of Texas
- By 2050, ocean plastic will outweigh all of the ocean’s fish.
