GLOBAL CHALLENGE 1:
PLASTIC POLLUTION
Plastic waste harms life through ingestion and entanglement. It damages ecosystems and causes the death of a wide range of species. Plastics take hundreds of years to break down, persisting in the environment and continuing to cause harm. Plastic pollution is not limited to coastal areas; but spreads across entire ocean basins, affecting remote and pristine ecosystems.
In 2050 the oceans will weigh more in plastic than in fish

GLOBAL CHALLENGE 2: RISING SEA LEVEL
Reversing the fossile fuel industry into regenerative operations
There are over 12.000 oil rigs and platforms worldwide. As the world shifts its energy demand to renewable alternatives, many of these offshore structures will be decommissioned. Currently, retired rigs are either sold, dismantled and auctioned off in parts, or submerged to become artificial reefs.
