Project: Pristine Ocean

About Us

We help get rid of trash in our ocean for our marine life and rescue any ocean life that is in need of help. Trash is one of the main things hurting animals in the ocean and we want to help! We have many different locations in the U.S. where you can volunteer but our sites are mainly in cities close to the ocean. We're not a real non-profit, but if we were we'd be a 501c3.

Our Mission

Getting rid of trash to help our marine friends.
