Sagarmitra Abhiyaan (Friends of Oceans) works to mitigate the threat caused by plastic pollution by creating a cultural shift in public perceptions and behaviors concerning plastic pollution and creates an ethical shift in student-to-parent outreach.
Every 10 kgs of clean & dry plastic we collect will help save 1 sq km of ocean life. We have seen that there are ~50,000 planktons (ocean trees) in a single drop of ocean water. How many such drops will be saved under 1 sq km of the ocean?
Any recognition of Sagarmitra Abhiyan is a feather in the cap of each of our 3,75,000 volunteers. They won the ‘Ocean Hero’ award in 2015 from The 5 Gyres Institute and the ‘Earth Day’ award in 2024 from the International Earth Day Foundation.
