They made a leaflet which provides information about the chosen goal. The leaflets were distributed at school. The students also made a video to popularize their work.

Our main idea is to make a board game that aims to educate those who play it and a poll in order to find out to what extent people are familiar with the problem, whether they are interested in the subject and whether they are trying to solve it.

The poll is aimed to the bigger students and the game is aimed to the smaller ones, so that both the bigger and the smaller can get to know the problem.

Facts and challenges are about the game. We’ll add more facts and more challenges.

Facts

1. Over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. However, today we are seeing 30 percent of the world’s fish stocks overexploited, reaching below the level at which they can produce sustainable yields.

2. Oceans also absorb about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide produced by humans, and we are seeing a 26 percent rise in ocean acidification since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Marine pollution, an overwhelming majority of which comes from land-based sources, is reaching alarming levels, with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic litter to be found on every square kilometre of ocean.

3. 75%

The ocean covers three quarters of the Earth’s surface and represents 99 percent of the living space on the planet by volume.

4. 200,000

The ocean contains nearly 200,000 identified species, but actual numbers may lie in the millions.

5. 40%

As much as 40 percent of the ocean is heavily affected by pollution, depleted fisheries, loss of coastal habitats and other human activities.

6. 30%

The ocean absorbs about 30 percent of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming.

7. 3 billion

More than 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods.

Challenges

If you see garbage in the water, take it out and throw it away.

Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.
