Mission
Working for a debris free sea.
About
Marine debris removal: remove man-made pollution (primarily nets, traps, and lines abandoned by commercial fishing operations) from the oceans, leaving marine habitat and wildlife in a safe and thriving environment -- the large majority of this active work is done at sea, from aboard our vessel. Our boat crews are volunteer deckhands, mechanics, divers, and our flagship captain is ODA founder and president Kurt Lieber. We also conduct harbor and shoreline cleanups, and plastic patrols (surface plastic collections from a small boat). Current coverage areas include the coastal waters of the following states: California and Hawaii.
