Student contest “LET’S SAVE THE SEA – CALL FROM THE OCEAN”

Reading time: 1 minute

According to research, up to 8 million tons of plastic waste is discharged into the ocean each year. Microplastics have been discovered in various marine life and even in our blood via the consumption of plastic-infected food. It is expected that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea (!).

With the desire to call for more attention to the current state of ocean pollution due to the impact of waste and spreading the message of environmental protection, Law of the Sea and International Maritime Law Center (SIMLAW) with the companionship of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) organized the contest “LET’S SAVE THE SEA! – CALL FROM THE OCEAN” for all students in Hanoi city.
