This breaks my heart. So much garbage. I am grateful to you for everything you do. I often wonder if my small part has any impact but I will keep trying. Do you see a light at the end of the tunnel? 🙏🏻🇨🇦

This is one of the most amazing ocean projects to ever happen. Great work!! Awesome to see these companies like @Kia and #mearsk helping. All nations should be funding this. @POTUS

Why there is no law on fishing nets which are been left behind by the fishing industry. Every time you wont come across a whale or sea turtle in order to save them.
