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.
DOLLARS FOR POUNDS
For each dollar allocated from the TeamSeas campaign, The Ocean Cleanup can remove one pound of trash from rivers. The #TeamSeas model is simple: The Ocean Cleanup intercepts plastic in rivers. Once this plastic catch has been verified, we then allocate the donations TeamSeas has received to where they can have most impact on plastic pollution. Your TeamSeas donations are currently funding Interceptor projects in Malaysia and Jamaica. As of June 2023 (mid-way through our partnership) The Ocean Cleanup has removed a verified total of 7 million pounds of trash from rivers around the world.
