TeamSeas
The Ocean Cleanup has teamed up with #TeamSeas to help bring attention to the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and raise funds to help solve it. The #TeamSeas fundraising campaign kicked off in October 2021 and reached our goal of funding the removal of 30 million pounds of trash removal by January 2021. The Ocean Cleanup will use our share of these funds to deploy and operate Interceptors, collecting one pound of trash for every dollar donated.
TeamSeas and The Ocean Cleanup
TeamSeas is a fundraising campaign initiated by Mark Rober and MrBeast, content creators on YouTube. The campaign’s goal is to raise 30 million USD to remove 30 million pounds of trash polluting coastal regions, rivers, and ultimately oceans. Funds ared split equally between The Ocean Cleanup and Ocean Conservancy. Find out more from Mark Rober and Boyan Slat on board our Interceptor Original in the Dominican Republic in this video.

Our Interceptors
Capturing plastic in rivers is the fastest and most efficient way to rid the oceans of plastic. To do this, The Ocean Cleanup deploys a growing network of Interceptors in rivers around the world, which together have removed over 5 million kg (11 million lbs) of trash so far.
The Ocean Cleanup currently has 12 Interceptors in 7 countries, with more expected for 2023 and 2024. Funds allocated from the TeamSeas campaign are aimed at expanding and improving our Interceptors, allowing us to make even more impact in highly polluting rivers.
