Join us for our 2019 Hope Spot Cleanups!

Join us, Sylvia Earle, and our friends from Mission Blue as we cleanup coastlines around the world and spread awareness about Hope Spots!

Hope Spots are special places that are critical to the health of the ocean — Earth’s blue heart. Many hope spots are found in places that are vulnerable to human activities, including offshore drilling, overfishing AND plastic pollution.​​

April is Earth Month and YOU can help protect these critical areas
  1. Organize a cleanup! Contact bonnie@plasticoceanproject.org to help or host a cleanup!
  2. Donate! Help us raise funds to hold an offshore cleanup in Hope Spot: Hatteras or buy a Hope Spot Protector t-shirt. A portion of the proceeds goes to funding these cleanups!
  3. Spread the word! Share on social media and share with friend and family. Help us recruit volunteers to help cleanup!
  4. Join the fun! On Earth Day, participate in a cleanup near you and help protect our Hope Spots. 
  5. Learn more! Learn more about Hope Spot: Hatteras and other Hope Spots around the world. 

Get Gritty - Save the Oceans!

GRITTI BRITCHES has teamed up with Plastic Ocean Project to help clean up the ocean and look good doing it. Using Artwork created with plastic from the ocean by Plastic Ocean Project founder, Bonnie Monteleone, they tell the story of how humans have changed the seascape with plastic. Sadly it is a very different ocean than what the original "Great Wave" artist saw less than 200 years ago. A portion of the proceeds go to Plastic Ocean Project's Fishing4Plastics efforts with local fisherman. Your purchase helps fund the restoration of the ocean that we all love. GRITTI BRITCHES is proud to partner with Plastic Oceans Project.
