Physical Reduction of Plastic & Marine Debris in World Waters

One of the most important pillars of the UC-ESSI 2030 Vision and the SOS CP program is the physical reduction of plastic and marine debris in oceans, lakes and rivers. This represents the core essence of the SOS CP and the primary mission of the OACM.

Each SOS CP program, once integrated into a governmental framework, ensures continuous extraction of plastic and marine debris through an annual maintenance protocol.

Minimising Microplastics & Preserving Biodiversity Beneath and Above the Surface

The UC-ESSI program reduces plastic beneath ocean, lake and river surfaces, preventing the creation of microplastics that endanger biodiversity and disrupt ecological processes.

Removing larger plastic debris has a direct positive effect on biodiversity, enabling protection and preservation. Fragile marine and aquatic ecosystems are highly sensitive to external pollution, which the SOS CP system actively prevents, both beneath and above the water surface.

Saving Aquatic and Marine Life

Millions of marine and aquatic lives are lost each year due to strangulation and pollution from plastics. One of the main global concerns of governments and international organisations is to prevent and reduce these losses.

To date, this has been unachievable. However, by integrating the OACM SOS CP system into governmental programs worldwide, we can begin reversing these effects, significantly reducing aquatic and marine deaths, and mitigating further damage to ecological processes and biodiversity.

UC-ESSI Cultural Heritage Impact

OACM recognises the importance of preserving cultural heritage in all coastal cities and local communities with traditions tied to the ocean, rivers or lakes, such as fishing, marine transportation or other maritime practices.

The CSMA Pollution Certificate serves as a guarantee to protect these cultural heritages, ensuring their survival and integrity.

For OACM, the definition of cultural heritage encompasses any local community located by oceans, rivers, or lakes that requires preservation and protection.
