Over the last decades cleaning up beaches and removing so much single use plastic we have decided to rally up our supporters to focus on one solution to help lower what we are seeing so much of by learning ways to say no to single use plastic like water bottles, plastic coffee lids, plastic straws, spoons, forks, and all single use plastic habits that are easy to stop using on a daily basis. We have found that if we have our own cup, stainless straw, and togo ware we are less likely to use single use items. The importance of donations: Link

To help others learn how we have side stepped the single use plastic need, we are giving everyone who donates $25 dollars or more to the Ocean Cleanup Beach Projects. If you already have reusable items you can give this gift to a friend or family member that does not already have one. Ocean Blue feels teaching by example is a solution to help lower even the simple things we may never notice in our busy every day life.

Your Donations Make Impact

Your gift makes it possible for Ocean Blue to grow from our grassroots nonprofit to protect the world's ocean, marine wildlife, trout, and salmon habitat. We are working so very hard over the world with our mission of service, adventure, and environmental stewardship.

Our team often is at beach cleanups or planting trees in a local river or stream working extra hard and with limited time. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks or so to receive your gift with the understanding that your donation is making impact in the field and we are only able to be at the office a few times per month.
