Honour the Ocean: Marine Conservation Masterplan, India

Honour the Ocean: Marine Conservation Masterplan, India Our campaign is Positive Change for Marine Life's signature campaign. We've just launched in India, will you join us?

Our campaign and Marine Conservation Masterplan© in India is the culmination of over 6 years of working in Australia, Japan, Brazil and other remote locations around the globe, realising the problems, living with the locals and learning from our experience to develop realistic, long-term solutions. It's an ongoing, in-depth strategy to re-shape a region of southern India that has b

een absolutely decimated by pollution, trash, over-fishing and the fact that local problems have been ignored by those who have the power and resources to solve them. Starting with education, training, community discussions and simple waste-management solutions run by the local community for the local community, we'll work toward long-term strategies to create positive change step by step. The project will rehabilitate local estuaries, ensure an end to the burning and direct dumping of waste and re-skill the local fisherman and community members living below the poverty line to make a fair living in waste management, eco-tourism and other ocean friendly industries, which conserve the ocean rather than exploiting it. Long-term, the Masterplan will introduce the first recycling and waste management facility to the region and introduce strategies to mitigate the impacts that trash, raw sewage and effluent is having on the ocean. It will also commence research into the state of fisheries in the area and determine long-term solutions to bring life back to the sea before it's too late.
