Our mission

Improve the protection of marine ecosystems and biodiversity from the impacts of pollution

Aiming to understand how CECs (Chemicals of Emerging Concern) are potentially harming the ocean.

CONTRAST will use a variety of methods to fight against potential harmful chemicals in our oceans.

This includes detailed scientific studies, like testing chemicals and studying their effects on marine life, along with working to influence policies. This way, we want to make sure our work leads to actual improvements in the health of our oceans.

Our work involves:

1. Identifying Harmful Chemicals
Pinpointing the CECs that pose the greatest risks to marine life.

2. Assessing Impact
Investigating how these chemicals affect marine ecosystems, from individual species to whole biodiversity.

3. Developing solutions
Creating practical strategies and tools to monitor, manage, and mitigate the effects of harmful substances.

4. Engaging communities
Collaborating with policymakers, environmental organizations, and the public to raise awareness and drive action.
