4ocean is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the global plastic pollution crisis by removing trash from the ocean and coastal environments. Founded in 2017, 4ocean operates with a mission to help reduce the impact of plastic waste on marine life and ecosystems while promoting sustainable practices for a cleaner, healthier planet.

The organization funds its initiatives through the sale of bracelets made from recycled ocean plastic. Each bracelet sold helps fund the removal of one pound of plastic from the ocean, supporting 4ocean’s ongoing cleanup efforts in key locations worldwide. These efforts involve deploying specialized vessels and crews to collect plastic and debris from the ocean, rivers, and beaches, focusing on high-impact areas that pose significant risks to marine life.

In addition to cleanup efforts, 4ocean works to raise awareness about the global plastic crisis and advocates for reducing single-use plastics and promoting sustainable alternatives. They collaborate with governments, businesses, and local communities to advance policies and practices that address plastic pollution at the source.

Through its initiatives, 4ocean empowers individuals to take action in the fight against plastic pollution while creating lasting environmental impact. The organization’s ultimate goal is to eliminate ocean plastic and restore the health of the world’s oceans for future generations.
