Plastic waste in the ocean breaks down into small particles called microplastics, which can be ingested by marine life and accumulate in the food chain, including in the fish we eat.

The ocean cleanup is critical to addressing the plastic pollution crisis. Cleaning up the ocean will not only help protect marine life but also human health and livelihoods. The ocean is a vital source of food and supports various industries, including tourism and fishing.
