The fight against this brutal, wasteful practice is also supported by collaborations with major brands that raise money for Oceana&#8217;s campaigns and create content to educate fans about why healthy oceans need sharks. Discovery will also be working with Ocean Conservancy again this year to help clean up beaches and inland waterways across the country to keep our waters clean for sharks and the other marine life that live in them. More than 8 million metric tons of plastic enter our ocean every year. Ocean Conservancy is working around the world to stop the flow of plastic into the ocean by 2030 and organizes the world&#8217;s largest volunteer effort on behalf of the ocean, the International Coastal Cleanup.
