Keep Our Oceans Clean
Ocean Blue Project is an Oregon-based ocean cleanup organization that’s working to rehabilitate and conserve the world’s oceans, beaches, and rivers through clean ups, solutions to keep pollutants from entering ecosystems, community-driven service, learning and education.
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.
Ocean Blue Project is committed to removing one million pounds of ocean plastic.
Every piece of plastic that enters storm drains may eventually make its way downstream to the ocean and onto our beaches. Plastic breaks down into tiny particles known as microplastics, and remain in our planet indefinitely. Microplastics pose a threat to water quality and marine animals.
Every piece of plastic you remove, small or large, saves at least one coastal bird or marine wildlife animal.
OBP is developing a new ocean cleanup machine that can recover microplastics along United States beaches. Advanced ocean cleanup technology like this helps us to collect and analyze microplastics, and identify root cause solutions.
Good Tide has partnered with Ocean Blue Project to remove 150,000 pounds of plastics from our oceans and waterways.
