Another day, another load of plastic removed from the ocean. Our latest cleanup just ended in Honolulu, bringing our total to just under 800,000 pounds of plastic removed from during our at-sea cleanups. Please be part of the solution, lets end the flow of plastic into our ocean!

With our latest cleanup completed, Ocean Voyages Institute has now removed almost 700,000 pounds of plastic during our at-sea cleanups. Everything we remove is recycled, repurposed and upcycled. Nothing ends up in a landfill or back in the ocean!

Our cleanup vessel has arrived in San Francisco and will be processing all the plastic ghostnets and consumer plastics collected during our first cleanup of the summer! It looks like a massive haul!

Ghost nets kill and untold number of fish and marine mammals. This is a big reason why we are out in the Pacific Garbage Patch collecting plastic debris.

It's very hard to determine where the ocean plastic we collect comes from, but crab buoys give us some important insights:
