Our mission statement is to protect the ocean for future generations through science, education and communication. During the reporting period we have continued to be engaged in activities that support this aim.
The most serious concern for the period has been a general reduction in fund-raising. Looking at the charity sector in general it appears that this is not something that concerns Just One Ocean but also a wider spectrum of organisations. We continue to do what we can to raise funds.
The first pillar of our activities is science. We promote scientific research through the instigation of our own studies and in addition we provide funding for external scientific activities where possible when those activities align with our objectives.
The Big Microplastic survey reached a high point during the reporting period with the publication of a thesis based on the research along with further publications based on the data collected by volunteers. While the current management team are not currently planning further publications the project will remain operational, collecting data that is available as an open-source database to external researchers and students alike. Additionally, the project continues to extend its reach to other parts of the world. https://justoneocean.org/red-sea-microplastic-surveys
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
The development of The Big Mangrove Project has unfortunately not moved forward since the previous year mainly as the result of a lack of funding to develop the mobile app to aid data collection. However, we have been in contact the International Wetlands organisation, who were interested in some form of collaboration. Discussions are still ongoing. there has been a decline in funding generally.
Research into the into the primeval oak forests along estuarine coastlines in the South of UK has continued and we are currently working to try and expand the research team by getting funding for a further PhD student who will increase sampling opportunities and data collection. We have also made a contribution to the first academic publication that is being submitted in the next reporting period. This scientific analysis will examine and potentially quantify the ecosystem services this unique habitat provides to the UK blue economy.
We have also been a part of a project in St Ives Bay in North Cornwall. This has involved running benthic surveys for volunteer divers to map the habitats and biodiversity in this important ecological area. Funded by a Dutch charitable foundation the research will enable us to understand better the complexity of the area and result in scientific publications that will support preservation efforts. This research will hopefully extend in the next reporting period if funding is available.
Education and Communication are the other pillars of our mission. Public presentations have decreased however we still manage to spread the message about the issues facing the oceans through our website and social media platforms. Topics include endangered species, habitat destruction, plastic pollution and public engagement. We have also spent a significant amount of effort promoting positive aspects of the oceans, highlighting where sustainability can protect and preserve marine ecosystems. Additionally we have become more involved in the University of Portsmouth marine science courses, supporting fieldwork, taxonomy sessions and providing marine plastic pollution presentations.
Our support of undergraduate education continued and we once again provided financial support for an intern programme in Thailand. Four

students took part in the programme for a month in August which involved a range of marine science activities.
While the number of presentations has declined particularly to large audiences, we have continued to promote our activities to a variety of audiences and use various platforms to highlight the many issues facing the oceans and, more importantly what can be done to protect it.
The trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main Science** : **achievements of the charity** We continue to support scientific research wherever possible, however **during the year** the number of postgraduates submitting requests for funding has declined. The main programme we supported was the MSc in coastal and marine resource management and this course undertook a significant restructuring that may have had an impact on the number of relevant topics being suitable for funding. During the reporting period we did not have any additional papers published, however two were submitted for publication and we are hopeful they will be in the next reporting period. This would mean a total of four papers being produced from the Big Microplastic Survey project. **Education and Communication** : We continued to grow our presence on social media address the growing number of issues affecting marine and coastal habitats. Over the year we have covered a range of topics. From an education perspective we sent four marine science undergraduates to Thailand for a month-long internship that covered a range of practical hands-on marine topics. This programme is incredibly popular with the undergraduates who attend – we just wish we had the funding to send more of them! An article produced by our CEO in the Conversation (https://theconversation.com/chewing-gum-is-plastic-pollution-not-a-litterproblem-251662) about the issues of plastic pollution and chewing gum at the end of the reporting period resulted in several developments. Firstly, the article was well read and republished across numerous media outlets gaining worldwide attention. This also resulted in interviews and expert comment across outlets such as CNN in the USA and AFP in Paris. It also resulted in a collaboration with other NGOs and natural gum manufacturers in a campaign to make producers accountable and ensure that plastics used in chewing gum manufacturing were not hidden within the ingredients declaration. The final outcome was our involvement as a co-author in a government policy paper which was submitted to the government. This was followed by an early day motion – the issue has gained some traction, and we hope that there will be some positive action by the time of the next report. Following on from the success of last year’s marine science display at the UK diving show we were delighted to be invited back again this year for the busy two-day show. As well as providing an exciting interactive stand that highlighted many of the environmental issues facing coastlines and marine habitats the stand also showcased research products being undertaken by PhD researchers from the University of Portsmouth. Interaction with many of the thousands of visitors was really encouraging. Additionally, the researchers were also provided with an opportunity to present their research to an audience at the show. **Fund Raising** : As previously mentioned, funding has been a major concern. We have launched a campaign for the following year, and this has included targeted marketing to encourage supporters to raise funds through adventure challenges. We have become an associate partner which will hopefully bear fruit in the longer term. We will also continue to look for further ways to raise funds.
