Because of your donations and support we have accomplished a lot this year. Please consider a year-end donation to help continue our work in 2015.
1. Presented to over 2000 people in 2014 on the problems and the solutions to plastic pollution with help from Project Aware and Jack Johnson Foundation.
2. First time ever surface sampling of an endorheic basin (a lake with no outlet) in a desert - a microcosm of an ocean.
3. Sponsored PlasticTides who successfully paddle boarded all the way around Bermuda while sampling with our surface sampler as well as student research on plastics ingested by sea turtles.
4. 5th year sampling the N. Atlantic gyre collecting over 50 samples to submit findings in a peer reviewed journal.
5. Collaborating with Beautiful Nation Project who provides science curriculum for schools reaching 1000s of students around the world and will be surface sampling with them January 2015. Stay tuned!.

Teaming up with educatorsPOP, Inc. joins UNCW educating undergraduates about plastic marine debris using our open-ocean samples collected from various aquatic regions in the world. We supervise lab research instrumentation, encourage scientific method, and help incubate progressive solutions to plastic pollution. On a global scale, Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. is joining Reach the World and Beautiful Nation educating over one million students from around the world as we circumnavigate the globe on Makulu, a 43' sailing vessel that will bring ocean science into the classroom. Won't you join us by adding your school to the network of schools from around the world, individually following along, volunteer, and by making a donation to keep education on marine debris moving.
Mission Accomplished
UNCW student Samian Roy builds paddle board surface sampler funded by POP, Inc. for Cornell students studying plastic marine around Bermuda.
POP, Inc. help fund Plastic Tides, students from Cornell University, who paddled around Bermuda to bring awareness to plastic marine debris. This team used a surface sampling device designed by Samian Roy, UNCW, and funded by POP, Inc. that can be pulled behind a paddle board.
