We want the right to refill. If we continue business as usual, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by weight by 2050. In March 2019, we submitted a policy proposal to the Philippine government to enhance existing regulations in order to establish safe, widely accessible refilling stations for cosmetics and household products. We envision that the presence of appropriately regulated refilling stations that are as accessible as water refilling stations will spark a radical change in the way organizations deliver goods and how consumers purchase them. Since the submission of the proposal and the launch of our public-facing campaign, we've met with a number of government agencies and institutions to continue advocating for this proposal. Join our push to mainstream refilling by signing our petition here . ​ Mainstream Refilling is led by Human Nature and SPS, and supported by a number of non-profit organizations and local enterprises.

Our Seatizen Journey With your help, we are able to support: Eleven youth-led projects Building on the SEA Camps from 2015-2019, Save Philippine Seas and the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines launched the SEA Camp Summit in 2020. The SEA Camp Summit sought emerging conservation leaders with proposals for online and offline advocacy campaigns and community-based projects addressing issues in illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing and marine debris in the Philippines and other countries in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Eleven (11) projects were selected from a competitive pool of applicants. The projects were co-funded by The Marketplace using proceeds from the Crazy Rich Oceans 2020 summer campaign. The maintenance and installation of mooring buoys in Ceb u The donation from the 2021 summer campaign of The Marketplace and Save Philippine Seas was used for the maintenance and reinstallation of four mooring buoys in the marine protected area (MPA) network in Daanbantayan Island, Cebu. The four MPAs are Dakit-Dakit, Lighthouse, Los Bamboos, and Ka Osting. At least 10 species of sharks and rays have been spotted in Daanbantayan's municipal waters. Mooring buoys not only demarcate the MPAs but also provide a spot for boats to moor. By mooring to the buoys, fisherfolk and diving boats avoid throwing anchors in the MPAs, reducing coral damage. Since these species are migratory, healthier reefs could mean healthier populations of sharks and rays. Develop Earthducation Kits, which helps transform any space into an eco-learning space In 2021, proceeds from the Proud Seatizen tote bag will contribute to our Earthducation Kits , allowing seatizens to create eco-learning spaces at home and in classrooms.

Why change the current? The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as increased frequency of extreme weather events, extreme rainfall, and sea level rise. ​ Children and youth are experiencing these effects, threatening their wellbeing, survival, and access to social services. To increase their ability to adapt to the climate crisis, we must change the current.

Fin fact: sharks people are the best people. Save Sharks Network Philippines (SSNP) is a coalition of organizations and institutions in the Philippines’ scientific, NGO, and tourism communities working on shark and ray research and conservation. It was co-founded in 2014 by SPS, Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines, and Greenpeace Philippines. ​ SSNP organizes a series of activities and creates campaigns to raise the public’s awareness on sharks, and identify issues and ways forward for the conservation, management, and utilization of sharks. It created Shark Conservation Week and the Shark Summit, starting in Cebu in 2014, followed by Dumaguete in 2016, Bohol in 2018, and Metro Manila in 2023. SSNP also led national campaigns to support the protection of sharks and rays in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS). ​ In 2017, SSNP published Pating, Saan Ka Pararating? 2020 Conservation Roadmap for Sharks and Rays in the Philippines . The roadmap is expected to propel shark and ray conservation forward in the Philippines, in hope of finding the balance between human needs and the integrity of the Philippine marine ecosystem. ​ In 2018, SSNP launched Shark Conservation Legislation: A Toolkit for Policymakers. This Toolkit aims to provide a range of approaches to conserve, protect, and/or sustainably utilize sharks in the Philippine context. It was created by SSNP as a response to the growing number of local government units (LGUs) seeking legal instruments to protect and conserve sharks and rays in their jurisdiction..
