The Power of the Individual

"The goal of my Cozumel to Cancun swim is to help raise awareness of the plight of the oceans, in particular the coral reef systems worldwide. Indeed they are the "canary in the mine shaft" and have been distressed and dying for years. I have seen through my own dive mask the constant deterioration and decided to do something about it." - Paul Ellis

THE FACTS

We live in a time in which every living system on earth is in decline, and the rate of decline is accelerating. We are losing our forests, fisheries, coral reefs, topsoil, water, biodiversity and climate stability. Our land, sea and air are being transformed from life-supporting systems into repositories for waste. We have lost over a quarter of the world's coral reefs. If the present rate of destruction continues, 60% of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed in the next 30 years.

Be a part of history, join the fastest growing, most powerful movement in the world... To protect the living systems of our planet Earth.
