Team members will to collect data for the Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, including micro plastic content in the water.[11][12]

"Ocean Savior" project

In October 2018, Big Blue Ocean Cleanup’s experts supported Ocean Saviour project, an initiative of Richard W. Roberts and Simon White, founders of TheYachtMarket.com, to build self-powering 70m tri-deck clean-up vessel, which will retrieve and recycle plastic from the ocean.[15][16]
