World Wetlands Day 2021: a day to celebrate and highlight the vital role that wetlands play for so many species, as well as for the ocean, our climate, our communities, culture, and economies.

Time has a strange way of moving incredibly fast, yet just a few years can also seem like an eternity. When I reflect over the past eight years, I can’t believe how far Positive Change for Marine Life has come, and the incredible journey and transformation that we’ve undertaken.
Plastic is everywhere - and affects us all. As the second-most populated country in the world, India is a leader in plastic production, usage and pollution.
With a severe lack of waste management and recycling facilities, the majority of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean, destroying marine ecosystems, affecting fisheries and killing millions of marine animals every year.

Over the past few months, our team has been gathering resources and refining our processes for the Don’t Be A Sucker Campaign (DBAS). We’re celebrating our newest single-use plastic free partner, The Sticky Wicket!
On 25th August, Positive Change for Marine Life collaborated with local marine conservation organisations and the Byron Bay community to raise awareness for our mother ocean. The event was called Festival For The Seas and took place at the funky Byron Bay Brewery.
