Sea otter pups can become stranded when storms separate them or when they drift away while mom is diving for food. Once alone, these pups have little to no chance of survival.

You can do your part to help these feathery friends by using less single-use plastic in your everyday life. Together, we can make a world without plastic that’s healthier for people and our ocean planet.
Sadly, wild tufted puffin populations are rapidly declining due to stressors like plastic pollution, which they often mistake for fishy food in the ocean.
