DIAGNOSING OUR PLANET’S GREATEST
ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS
Ocean Diagnostics diagnoses and protects our planet from plastic pollution and biodiversity loss threats through innovative technologies, laboratory services and collaborative partnerships.
PLASTIC POLLUTION
Estimates suggest global annual plastic emissions may reach 53 million metric tons per year by 2030. In the environment, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Microplastics are pieces of plastic 5 mm and smaller. Many microplastics, including microfibers and nanoplastics, are too small for the human eye to see, but they threaten organisms and humans on a global scale.
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
Living Planet Report 2020 recorded a 68% average decline of mammal, bird, fish, amphibian and reptile from 1970 to 2016 (analyzing 20,811 populations of 4,392 species). Microplastics have been found in the tiniest organisms to the largest predators. Plastic production and its environmental effects significantly contribute to climate change and biodiversity loss.
