The oceans need help. It is inconceivable and unbearable to see all the issues affecting our blue friend, home to so many wonderful creatures, and vital part of our survival equation in this planet. It is an urgent call for everyone, and it will not change unless we change. At WWET we have this statement integrated within, and we do everything we can to help.
Among so many issues, plastic and garbage have become our number one enemy. It is heart breaking to know about all the cetaceans, and marine creatures dying from ingesting it. There are huge plastic islands floating free in our oceans, there are beaches with mountains of it, seabed floors completely covered. It is a worldwide problem and our waters of Tenerife are no exception.
