Act positive. Protect the Ocean. 🌊

Wishing you all a wonderful 2026! 🎉 Thanks to Wishing you all a wonderful 2026! 🎉

Thanks to your support in 2025, we turned small actions into major victories for the Ocean:
📣 Historic progress: our advocacy helped secure the inclusion of our demands in the European Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and led to the adoption of a regulation to prevent industrial plastic pellet losses.
✊ Strong mobilisation at key international events, including UNOC and the negotiations for a global plastics treaty.
We also celebrated 35 years of action and impact!

In 2026, we’re setting our sights even higher! 
We want to grow our impact with more on-the-ground actions, more citizen science data, and stronger advocacy to protect coastlines and the health of people everywhere.

To make it happen, we need you!

These small plastic pellets should never end up in These small plastic pellets should never end up in the environment. Yet every day, our volunteers collect them by the thousands. ⚠️

Production, transport, lost containers at sea… Pellets escape at every stage of the industrial supply chain and end up in the Ocean. 🌊

So we investigated. Challenged. Documented. Raised the alarm.
And after 2 years of negotiations, a first European regulation has been adopted! ✅

But a law is not enough. It must be enforced. Today, we need you to keep monitoring and taking action so that polluters stop poisoning the Ocean and our beaches. 🔴

The blue carbon credit market is sometimes present The blue carbon credit market is sometimes presented as very promising. It may above all obscure what truly matters: reducing our emissions. 🌱
 
Carbon offsetting is based on a simple idea: allowing an individual or an organisation to counterbalance its CO₂ emissions by financing projects that are, in theory, beneficial for the climate. It relies on carbon credits, each representing one tonne of CO₂ avoided or sequestered by a certified project.
 
Within this framework, a specific market is emerging: the blue carbon market, based on the sale of credits generated through the protection or restoration of coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes. Still marginal at the global scale, this market is nevertheless growing rapidly.
 
However, as with land-based carbon credits, the actual climate effectiveness of these mechanisms is widely debated. The same concerns now apply to blue carbon: measurable climate benefits, risks of greenwashing, and the reduction of complex ecosystems to their carbon storage function alone.
 
To shed light on these issues, Surfrider Foundation Europe conducted a study involving stakeholders working on blue carbon ecosystems and blue finance mechanisms. The interviews reveal divided perspectives, with arguments both in favour of and critical of these emerging markets.
