ALTMeet Makana, the Laysan albatross at Monterey Bay Aquarium!
ALT
ALT💙Makana was rescued after sustaining injuries that left her unable to fly.
💙After being rescued and rehabilitated in our care, Makana now serves as an ambassador for her threatened species.
💙Makana not only wows guests with her beauty but also educates them about the devastating impact of single-use plastics on ocean birds.
💙Studies show that nearly 98% of Laysan albatross chicks were found with plastic debris in their stomachs.
💙Every year, millions of tons of plastic end up in the ocean, harming marine life. Seabirds like Makana often mistake plastic for food, leading to injury or death.
💙Choosing to reduce our plastic consumption helps protect ocean ecosystems and the species that depend on them.
💙That’s why we’re joining hundreds of conservation organizations, nations, and businesses around the world to advocate for a Global Plastics Treaty to protect wildlife, our health, and the future of our planet.
ALTMakana is a powerful reminder that our choices make a difference, and together we can make a world without plastic that’s healthier for all.
