One year ago, we launched our first Interceptor in Panama together with @MareaVerde_PA, Interceptor 022 in the Río Abajo.
This year, we also scaled up in two other locations: the Río Matías Hernández and the Juan Díaz - preventing over 100,000 kg of trash from reaching Panama Bay.
The 2026 Hurricane Season is here.

While El Niño may reduce some Atlantic storm activity, Jamaica can still face major hurricanes, intense rainfall, flooding, landslides, drought, and water shortages. Stay informed.

This is how we progressed towards clean oceans in May:
🔹Following the success of Interceptor 007 in LA County, we signed agreements with county and city leaders in Los Angeles to expand our operations to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers as part of our 30 Cities Program.
🔹This past month, we co-authored a study analyzing more than 20,000 eel traps lost at sea, emphasizing the durability of discarded fishing gear, which can persist for decades and travel across the entire ocean
🔹As part of our commitment to addressing the source of ocean plastic pollution, we recently joined the Global Ghost Gear Initiative, an initiative dedicated to tackling abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gear in our oceans.
🔹New deployments are underway in Manila, Philippines, and Panama - stay tuned for updates!
The future is bright! 🌍🚁

Drought in Jamaica is no longer occasional, it’s structural. 🌎
Erratic rainfall, rising temperatures, & shrinking reservoirs are increasing pressure on farming, energy & water supply systems.
Water resilience is a priority.
