MARINE CONSERVATION ISSUES

CO-EXIST creates awareness of the impacts of pollution and overfishing on the marine environment.

Through the sale of environmentally sustainable, eco-friendly merchandise we wish to promote the brand and the need to CO-EXIST in harmony with our oceans.

Profits from sales will be utilized to support marine conservation initiatives and organizations around the world.

Our planet needs clean oceans. The oceans give us life – the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat – but more than that, they give us a life worth living for!

Marine debris and plastics in particular have been described as some of the greatest environmental concerns of our times, along with climate change, ocean acidification and loss of biodiversity. It is estimated that if marine plastics pollution remains unabated, there will be more plastics in the oceans than fish by 2050 – that’s only 30 years away!

Please consider purchasing our merchandise! All profits support marine conservation projects and engage more people to join the fight against marine debris!
