The Ocean Cleanup is a not-for profit Dutch organisation developing technologies to extract, prevent, and intercept plastic pollution. Our goal is to
fuel the world’s fight against oceanic plastic pollution, by initiating the largest cleanup in
history.
For this purpose, we are organising the largest ocean plastics
research expedition later this year in August. The expedition will leave from
Hawaii to collect data about the plastic loads in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We are thus looking for sailboats and motorboats travelling back to CA after the Transpac
race, or independently, in order to collect data in the form of visual and trawl surveys.
The event will be broadcasted globally. All
equipment and
training will be provided, as well as financial compensation.
