Pollution has been reported to be one of the five main drivers of the biodiversity crisis, threatening 37% of marine mammals with extinction.<\/p>
<\/p>
This t-shirt was created as a collaboration between Rapanui and Marine Conservation Society as a reminder who the real locals are in our oceans. It\u2019s a reminder of the need to tackle the sources of pollution, to regenerate marine life and restore ocean health.<\/p>
<\/p>
A portion of the profits will directly fund the Marine Conservation Society's work in restoring the ocean.<\/p>","metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"Pollution has been reported to be one of the five main drivers of the current biodiversity crisis, threatening 37% of marine mammals with extinction....","metaImage":null,"noIndex":false,"giftWrapCompatible":true,"approvalStatus":"approved","ecoIcons":["organic-icon.png","low-carbon-icon.png","ethical-icon.png"],"isBundle":false,"specifications":"Certified Organic Cotton t-shirt, 155g\/m2.
