Ocean Blue Project is committed to its mission of protecting our One World Ocean with the rollout of our new Microplastics Recovery Program. Microplastics are miniscule pieces of plastic about two millimeters in size that litter the environment. These plastics pollute the oceans and rivers, and their ecosystems. Now microplastics and nanoplastics are turning up in our food chain and studies are inconclusive about the extent of harm they cause to humans.Â
Our Microplastics Recovery Program works to reduce this waste from beaches and rivers. With the help of volunteers and beach cleaning machines and techonology, we can not only recover microplastics but collect data that may affect systemic change and stem microplastic pollution at its sources.
To get there, Ocean Blue Project is taking a multipronged approach through Fundraising, Partnerships, Volunteer Cleanups, Data Collection and Analysis, and Policy Proposals.
