Ocean Blue Project Removed Over 1 Million Pounds of Plastic!

Ocean Blue Project is a ocean cleanup organization that is working to rehabilitate and conserve the world’s Ocean, beaches, and rivers through clean ups, solutions to keep pollutants from entering ecosystems, community-driven service learning and youth education. Our Ocean conservation projects are advancing the path to a better future for our one world Ocean. Do beach cleanups really make a difference? Yes every piece of plastic you remove small or large saves at least one coastal bird or marine wildlife animal. Ocean Blue Project is an Oregon-based national, nonprofit environmental organization to save the ocean by removing microplastics. Ocean Blue Project is dedicated to protecting our One World Ocean. Founded by father-and-son tribal members of the Choctaw Nation, Ocean Blue's vision is for the world's ocean, beaches, and rivers to once again be pristine, self-sustaining ecosystems where wildlife and human communities can coexist and thrive. Together we can protect the ocean by reducing the amount of microplastics and marine debris traveling to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We work with hundreds of donors that support plastic recovery projects with ocean cleanup machines and host cleanups all over the United States making positive effects on the environment.

Cleaning up oceans, rivers and beaches for a healthier planet

Through funding by corporations like yours, we’re developing a new ocean cleanup machine that can recover microplastics throughout American beaches. Advanced ocean cleanup technology like this helps us to not only collect microplastics, but effect change to curb microplastic pollution at its source.

Align your vision with sponsorships that make a direct, positive impact on our oceans – and we’ll shout it from the rooftops. Our followers love to know which companies view the world as they do, which is why our sponsorships include social media shout-outs.

Beach Clean up Day Near Me

Beach Cleanups are vital to the health of our watersheds – areas of land encompassing any body of water. Watersheds channel rainfall and snowmelt to urban streams, creeks, and eventually flowing to reservoirs, bays, and the Ocean.

Along the way, the water flow will collect any waste and debris left behind, carrying it to the outflow point. Marine waste harms aquatic wildlife and their habitats, as well as spoiling tourism and recreational activities. 

When you organize a Beach Cleanup, you are empowering the local community to tackle this challenge. Coastal community clean up projects reduce the amount of waste on state beaches by removing discarded debris before it has a chance to be carried down a river and out to the ocean or broken down into smaller microplastics. 

Coastal beach cleanup projects reduce the amount of waste on state beaches we all love by literally removing litter or marine debris that is left behind or washing up one wave at time.

Spring is a good time for beach cleanups, after the winter high tides have left behind plastic debris on our coast lines.
