BlueCommunities

BlueCommunities (BCs) are part of Plastic Ocean’s global network of grassroots organizations and businesses committed to continuously engaging stakeholders through film screenings and dialogues.

Plastic Ocean provides each BC with detailed dialogue analyses and evidence-based resources to support the BC’s work on circular economy transition.

BC Commitments

  • Film Screenings

    BCs host at least 6 film screenings per year. Each screening is carefully selected, building from the previous and allowing to dive deeper into community-specific issues.

  • Dialogues

    Each screening is followed by a dialogue, creating a space for stakeholders to engage in meaningful conversations about the film and naturally environmental issues that may be relevant for the community.

  • Take Action

    Plastic Oceans conducts a thorough analysis of the dialogues, identifying knowledge gaps and collaborative opportunities for action, specific to each community.

Atlantic Healthy Ocean Initiative

Their activities focus on marine protection and habitat conservation, as well as research on aquatic species at risk and management of invasive species. They utilize ROV technology for benthic habitat mapping and implement plastic waste reduction initiatives, such as promoting the use of biodegradable and reusable containers. Additionally, they run community education and sustainable development programs to foster long-term environmental stewardship.
