This year, oceans and freshwaters across Canada received great news. The federal government announced a ban on six types of single-use plastics, coming into effect in 2021.
We're thrilled to announce that a portion of the data used to inform this decision was collected by #TeamShoreline volunteers.

Make sure you get out onto your local shoreline one more time before the winter arrives. The snow and salt that comes with winter can turn large pieces of plastic into smaller, more easily ingested plastics, or #microplastics, through the colder months. These tiny plastics enter the ocean with runoff in the spring.

Our shorelines look haunted this time of year with increased litter from single-use candy wrappers! Did you know that in 2019 #TeamShoreline collected 75,000 food wrappers off Canadian shorelines?
Together, we can make sure that number goes down by leading cleanups, shopping sustainably and caring for our watersheds.

Ocean Wise supports Mi’kmaq harvesters in their right to fish and we are deeply saddened to have watched the situation in Nova Scotia escalate over the past weeks to include the damage of gear and private property, spoiling of catch, and racism.

Today, the Environment and Climate Change Minister announced that a ban on six single-use plastic items will begin in 2021. Five of these are in the top twelve most common litter items found on Canadian shorelines.
To decide which items would be banned, the Government of Canada looked at many resources, including Shoreline Cleanup's #DirtyDozen, and comprehensive litter data collected by #TeamShoreline volunteers.
