Despite being some of the mightiest animals in the ocean, whales are still under threat from plastic pollution. Whales can end up entangled in fishing gear, weighing up to 10,000 pounds which is exhausting for them to drag along behind them. Entanglement is the leading cause of whale deaths globally.
Whales are also at risk from absorbing harmful chemicals from plastic in seawater, entering the whale’s body and causing severe negative impacts on their health, behaviour, and ability to reproduce. Bycatch, whaling, captivity and climate change are all major threats to the whale population. We must act now to look after these incredible sea dwellers.
This 4Ocean Braided Whale Bracelet pulls a pound of waste from the ocean and coastlines, as well as helping to raise awareness about the actions that we can all take to help save these magnificent creatures.
