PickUp3

Project is inactive

Technically not a science project but a great community initiative, PickUp3 is a passion project started by Ocean Ambassadors Canada. They were motivated to start this project after seeing the negative impact of plastic garbage in our ocean—from microscopic organisms to entire marine food webs, the effects of plastic pollution are devastating. When we hear the ocean is in trouble it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you want to take action but don’t know where to start, PickUp3 is your answer.

PickUp3 is a growing movement driven by communities that care. These communities want to remove plastic and other waste from our beaches, educate on the importance of ocean health and inspire people to take action and care for their oceans.
