Support a Major Ocean Plastic Cleanup Mission on One of the Most Remote and Polluted Shorelines in the Pacific
Kamilo Beach on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island is known around the world for the massive amount of plastic pollution that washes onto its remote shoreline.
Ocean Blue Project has researched and assessed this coastline and confirmed what the world fears: plastic continues to arrive here in heavy volumes, carried by ocean currents from across the Pacific.
Now we are preparing for a major cleanup mission.
Our goal is to raise $300,000 to send trained crew, equipment, and support teams to begin removing plastic and marine debris from this remote beach as it washes in.
Why Kamilo Beach Needs Immediate Help
Kamilo Beach, sometimes called “Plastic Beach,” is one of the most heavily impacted marine debris accumulation zones in Hawaiʻi.
Plastic bottles, broken fragments, fishing rope, nets, and microplastics wash ashore here again and again. Because of the area’s location, ocean currents and wave action continue to trap debris along the coastline.
This is not a one-time pollution event.
This is an ongoing plastic invasion.
Without cleanup action, plastic continues to build up, break apart, and threaten marine ecosystems.
Why This Cleanup Is So Difficult
Kamilo Beach is not an easy beach cleanup.
This shoreline is:
- Remote
- Hard to access
- Expensive to operate in
- Logistically challenging for equipment and waste removal
To clean this area responsibly, Ocean Blue Project needs:
- Trained cleanup crew
- Transportation and field logistics
- Cleanup gear and support equipment
- Debris extraction and hauling capacity
- Disposal coordination for removed waste
This is why the project requires $800,000 in funding.

The Mission
Ocean Blue Project’s goal is simple:
Remove plastic from Kamilo Beach before even more of it breaks down into microplastics or harms wildlife.
This project is part of a larger mission to stop plastic pollution where it accumulates most — from rivers and coastlines to remote marine debris hotspots.
Kamilo Beach is one of the places where the world can clearly see the scale of the plastic pollution crisis.
With your help, it can also become a place where people see action.

Urgency Section
Plastic Keeps Washing In. We Need to Act.
Every day this shoreline remains unaddressed, more debris arrives.
Plastic does not stop on its own.
It breaks apart.
It spreads.
It harms wildlife.
It becomes harder to remove.
Your donation helps Ocean Blue Project respond with action.
