@Oceanwire @MikeHudema Thank you for your kind words and support! Ocean Voyages Institute has collected just under 800,000 pounds of plastic in just the past few years during our at-sea cleanups. Everything is upcycled/recycled/repurposed. Nothing ends up in a landfill or back in the ocean!

@HenricusNature @Seasaver We always find large amounts of sealife - fish, turtles, rays, sharks, etc that have been entrapped and died in the ghost nets we recover during our cleanups. Plastic Ghostnets are basically killing machines that wont degrade or stop until they are removed from the ocean

With our latest cleanup completed, Ocean Voyages Institute has now removed almost 700,000 pounds of plastic during our at-sea cleanups. Everything we remove is recycled, repurposed and upcycled. Nothing ends up in a landfill or back in the ocean!
