Toxic Chemical Mitigation

☣️ Fighting the Silent Killers in Our Seas

At Coastal Renewal, we’re tackling one of the ocean’s most insidious threats: toxic chemical pollution. These invisible contaminants — from industrial runoff to agricultural pesticides, oil spills to heavy metals — seep into our waters, poisoning marine life and threatening human health.

Toxic chemicals don’t just vanish. They accumulate in the bodies of fish, seabirds, and mammals, working their way up the food chain — and eventually onto our plates. The damage is profound:

• Mass die-offs of fish and shellfish

• Birth defects and reproductive harm in marine animals

• Coral bleaching and habitat degradation

• Increased health risks for coastal communities dependent on seafood

Coastal Renewal’s approach to toxic chemical mitigation includes:

• Removing debris that leaches harmful substances into the ocean

• Restoring wetlands and mangroves — nature’s filters that trap and break down pollutants

• Advocating for stronger protections against industrial and agricultural runoff

• Raising awareness so communities can take action to reduce contamination at the source

The fight against toxic chemicals is about more than clean water — it’s about restoring the health of entire ecosystems and safeguarding future generations.

When we protect the ocean from poisons, we protect ourselves. 🌊💙
