Humpback whales communicate with complex songs that can be as loud as the sound of a jet plane (around 150 decibels).
In 2 years, we collected 1,233,595 pieces of rubbish from our beaches in 279 beach clean-ups. 80% of these items were plastic.
Around the world, between 70 and 100 million sharks die each year through fishing, shark finning and shark mitigation programs.

12-15 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year, killing one million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals.
Illegal fishing accounts for an estimated 11-26 million tons of the annual catch of fish globally.
