Connect with the Ocean on World Oceans Day

A Day of Awareness, Away from the Sea, Far from the Source Where All Life Began; Healer of Many, Peace for Others, And Necessary for Everyone.

The sea is an experience, a feeling, a connection, it is one that houses many. Any thinking being who has been drawn to this great blue mantle can share and agree with this.

We need to connect to the ocean.

¿Cómo relacionamos el deporte (nado) con la contaminación?

Decidimos buscar una nueva forma de cumplir con nuestra misión y comunicar nuestro mensaje al público desde un ámbito deportivo y que conecte a las personas de todo el mundo, de manera positiva. El deporte ha abierto las puertas a temas de alta polémica, y la respuesta ante estos ha sido de lo más cálida y gratificante, entonces ¿Por qué no hacer lo mismo con temas ambientales? 

Cada ves es más escuchado y las personas se están uniendo para levantar la voz por nuestro medio ambiente debido a las consecuencias que está sufriendo por culpa del ser humano. Todos quieren participar, desde su trinchera, a través de su profesión o de sus actividades diarias.

Meet the Swimmers of Swim Against Plastic: Riviera Maya

The participants in the Swim Against Plastic, Riviera Maya, in their own words.

How does swimming relate to plastic pollution?

We decided to find a new way to fulfill our mission and communicate our message about plastic pollution to the public from a sports perspective. We want to connect people around the world to this problem, in a positive way. In the past, sports have opened the doors to conversation on highly controversial issues, and the response has often been warm and rewarding. So Plastic Oceans thought why not take a similar approach with environmental issues? We started this effort with the inaugural Swim Against Plastic in March of 2019, when we ventured to iconic Easter Island, which resulted in a world-record swim by South African endurance Athlete, Sarah Ferguson.

Creating Awareness and Inspiring Solutions at Another UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Swim Against Plastic (visit official website HERE) is an environmental movement and campaign that focuses on swimming and a social approach to the problem of plastic pollution. We are looking to open the eyes of the world to this crisis. We want to change the discourse and focus it, so that people can identify with this problem from a positive perspective. The first swim took place on Rapa Nui, where endurance swimmer Sarah Ferguson set a world record. She became the first person to swim the entire perimeter of the island, non-stop. Rapa Nui is one of the most remote places on the planet, and yet the one of the most affected by plastic pollution and  microplastics.
