Get Involved
5 Minute Beach Cleanup™
5 Minute Beach Cleanup is our Foundation's first initiative. Working closely with 5 Minute Beach Cleanup™, Costa Rica, we have expanded this hands-on educational activity to reach millions of people across the globe.
Plastic Education Program
Ocean Heroes
Ocean Heroes is our Foundation’s first educational program, developed for elementary aged students.
Graduates are inspired to take action and equipped with the knowledge to prevent single-use plastics in our oceans.
Sustainable Tourism
Friends of the Ocean
This fun, sustainable program works with the tourism sector by partnering with hospitality groups, restaurants, city officials, and agencies to reduce the impact of consumer pollution on our oceans while traveling. We provide educational and promotional material in addition to permanent beach cleanup collection stations for guests to participate in, while visiting your establishment.
Circular Economy
Sea Cycle©
Sea Cycle’s blue circular economy project uses upcycling. Upcycling is an efficient way to transform recovered marine plastic into high-value products that can drastically lessen the environmental impact of plastic production and pollution by disrupting the negative plastic chain by altering its life cycle.
