}}Clean Oceans International, originally The Clean Oceans Project, is an ocean-oriented environmental organization founded in 2009 as an IRS 501c3 public benefit corporation. Clean Oceans International seeks to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans through a comprehensive global approach that includes research, technical innovation, public awareness, and efficient plastic waste management.[1][2][3]

COI is based in Santa Cruz, California on the Santa Cruz Harbor, gateway to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.[4]

Plastic-to-fuel conversion strategy

Approximately 80 percent of marine plastic pollution is generated from single-use polymer products that originate from land-based sources.[5] Clean Oceans International (COI) promotes conversion of the plastic waste into valuable liquid fuels, including gasoline, diesel and kerosene, using plastic-to-fuel conversion technology. environmental engineering company.[6][7][8]

COI plans to educate local communities and create a financial incentive for them to recycle plastic, keep their shorelines clean, and minimize plastic waste.[6]

Research efforts

COI is conducting research with nonprofit, academic and government organizations including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Turtle Island Restoration Network.[9][10]

Education

COI is also working in collaboration with the Cabrillo Community College science department on an ocean debris survey pilot program.[3][11]
