How we do it 

Our History

Since 2009, Plastic Oceans UK have been experts in ocean plastic pollution. Our award-winning documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’, was named by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most important films of our time” and ignited mass public awareness about the impact of plastic on our Ocean. Through various education programmes, we set out to increase Ocean literacy and stop plastic reaching the Ocean within a generation. 

Ten years on, it's time for a change. And for a new energy to tackle a wider range of very real and immediate human actions threatening the Ocean. Serendipity came into play when we met the Ocean Generation Foundation team. This relatively new youth collective was breaking stereotypes by using popular culture like gaming, music and fashion to foster an inclusive approach to sustainability. We’re embarking together on this bold and refreshing chapter, combining their disruptive energy with our years of experience of storytelling through science and film.  As Plastic Oceans becomes Ocean Generation, we have a higher vision of the world. One where the Ocean is freed from human threats within a generation and where young people can be the catalyst for change.
