Biodiversity - Ecological Proceses
CSMA Integration and Coastal Certification is a concrete measure that impacts the ocean in multiple ways, but most significantly in the drastic elimination of the plastic beneath the ocean surface where it does the most damage to marine life and biodiversity. According to research, 70% of the plastic lies beneath the ocean surface and CSMA is oriented towards this problem. The most marine debris-exposed areas are coastal areas with a high density of pollution and tourism destinations. OACM focuses its objective on eliminating all marine debris and plastic within the human hand’s reach, i.e., coastal areas (beaches, ports & harbours, national parks and wildlife marine areas). The impact of the CSMA’s objective to remove and extract the plastic from beneath the ocean surface is a highly complicated and demanding task which ICBEC corporate membership promotes.
