🌊 Behind every cleanup is a real person. Many of our first crew members were local fishers who saw plastic pollution destroying the waters they depended on. Instead of competing with fishing, we offered something different: steady jobs cleaning the ocean they love. 💙 Today, 200+ crew members earn living wages with healthcare benefits while protecting marine ecosystems for future generations. For their families and communities, this means security, stability, and a future tied to conservation, not plastic pollution. 👉 Support the people behind the mission.
