Youth Ocean Action (YOA) was set up in August 2017 after we spoke to Stephen Lloyd, our Member of Parliament, who agreed that it was a good idea and gave his full support. We then spoke to David Tutt, Leader of Eastbourne Borough Council, who also gave his full support and offered the use of the new Devonshire Conference Centre. Our aim is to teach young people from all over the world about the dangers of Plastic Pollution in our Oceans and how to deal with it as we fight to save our Planet. They will then go back to their home countries as “Ocean Guardians” and be the nuclei who will lead the fight to control and start to eliminate it. As a secondary part of our Mission, we are also aiming to persuade businesses and people to stop using single use plastics with our local campaign called “CleanBourne”, as it is these that cause much of the pollution. Stephen Lloyd loved our campaign name and agreed that, when we succeed, Eastbourne will become a “Plastic Free Town.
