Save Our Seas is campaigning to remind people that everyday plastic bags and other plastic in the oceans kill marine life, not to mention being a much broader environmental hazard. With over 46,000 pieces of plastic on average in every square mile of ocean, it is time to take action to protect our marine life and our way of life.
SOS's mission is to raise awareness, promote alternatives and take action.
