Protecting the Ocean Starts at Home
Practical, property-focused ways for managers, residents and communities to reduce plastic pollution, manage runoff, and restore coastal buffers.
Regular beach and river cleanups to reduce plastic threats to marine life.
Promote rainwater capture and proper wastewater handling to keep pollutants out of the sea.
Add vegetated roofs and buffer strips to increase infiltration and habitat.
Why Protect Marine Ecosystems?
Oceans cover over 70% of the planet, providing food, climate regulation, and rich biodiversity. They face threats from plastic pollution, overfishing, acidification, and habitat loss from coastal development.
What Properties Can Do
- Replace single-use supplies with reusable or recyclable alternatives.
- Create rain gardens and permeable surfaces to reduce runoff.
- Educate residents through workshops and signage.

FAQ
How can we reduce plastic at our property?
Start by reducing procurement of single-use items, set up collection points, partner with local recyclers, and run resident education sessions.
We have stormwater runoff issues—what can we do?
Consider permeable paving, green roofs, rain gardens and other low-impact development (LID) solutions.
