As the interconnected threats of plastic pollution and climate change continue to grow, those who rely on the health of the ocean for their livelihoods are finding it increasingly difficult to earn a living.

Our entire business model is designed to fund the growth and expansion of our global cleanup operation and provide steady, living-wage employment to people whose lives and livelihoods are disproportionately impacted by plastic pollution.

The jobs we create help counteract the economic impacts of plastic pollution, incentivize environmental stewardship at the local level, and bring new opportunities for growth, equality, education, and prosperity to our crew members, their families, and their communities.
