Remove ~21.5 Lbs of Ocean Plastic

Help clean up the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”

In partnership with Dollar Donation Club, the Ocean Voyages Institute runs mid-ocean expeditions to track and remove “ghost net” plastic--the most lethal form of ocean plastic. To date, Ocean Voyages Institute has removed over 500,000 pounds of plastic from the ocean.

Ghost nets are abandoned fishing gear that kill an estimated 650,000 marine animals every year by entanglement. It’s also estimated that as much as half of all ocean plastic is fishing related.
