Momentum is building for businesses to step up and scale up actions and commitments to contribute to the Global Goal for Nature:
Zero net loss of nature from 2020, net positive by 2030, and full recovery by 2050. Our network of like-minded partners and supporters work closely with us to help achieve shared impact and restore biodiversity and ecosystems to protect the wellbeing of people and the planet.
It’s where we go to spend time with family, to swim, surf and find solace.
The ocean is vast, beautiful, and diverse, holding deep, cold ravines, lush kelp forests and vibrant coral reefs. It offers us food and livelihoods.
But our water ecosystems are affected by waste, marine debris (much of which is plastic) and nutrient pollution.
With Sea The Change, there are many ways to take action for our ocean, wetlands and rivers.
Over the next 5 years, we are committing to activating a community of people to remove 30 tonnes of rubbish from entering the environment as we continue to work with CSIRO to expand their National Plastic Pollution Baseline Survey across the country.
SeaToSource focuses on where all types of pollution start their journey.

“With the help of Conservation Volunteers, we’re recording crucial data. This will help us get a better handle of what rubbish is where. We will be able to identify hotspots, problem areas and items. It will also identify methods to stop our litter ending up in the environment in the first place”
CVA SeaToSource Volunteer & Copywriter
“I think community is super important. It’s one thing to come along and do your part for nature yourself, but to inspire those around you and be inspired, to create a bigger network, it’s just going to be better for the planet, people taking action for nature.
CVA SeaToSource Volunteer & Reef Catchment CEO
“We may be coming at it from different perspectives and angles but when you strip it back it’s very similar – it takes one step and one action, we can create that change.”

“It feels quite empowering to know there are other people who get out of bed and come and clean up our beaches. It’s also empowering to see how much people can achieve and how what we do has an impact on the environment.”
Defy Design, Sydney
“I feel motivated to be involved in community-based change. I feel that change is possible on a micro scale and that we have the power to create change collectively on a macro scale. It’s great to be involved in projects that work towards building a sustainable future and are community driven.”
There are many ways you can get involved and help us increase the health, abundance, diversity and resilience of species and populations of water ecosystems across Australia.
Roll up your sleeves and help us make ocean litter a thing of the past.
