Clean Ocean Sailing is changing the view of ocean plastic as waste, using it as a resource. Marine waste is evidence of a crisis in human consciousness. Marine plastic waste demonstrates a degradation of valuing the natural world. The marine pollution we experience is a bi-product of us humans viewing the ocean ecosystem in the wrong way, as something separate from us in short. In other ways, marine plastic waste has value as a secondary material economically if enough is collected and different plastics are separated. The waste can be a resource for creative arts and crafts too such as pieces of jewellery, door mat, dog leads, plant pots and even kayaks.
