About Us
Action By Sea is a campaign group focussed on increasing awareness of the scale of marine debris, its impact on our environment, and the solutions for both prevention and clean-up.
Focussing on the North Atlantic Garbage Patch Action By Sea plans to research the extent of the problem, instigate a process for tackling the problem and promote change to ensure that the problem does not reoccur.
The initiators of action by sea all have first hand experience of the amount of rubbish that is in our oceans, you can read more about them here.
