Munakata-based Ocean Cleaning Crowdfund Project

Sea+Sons, a Munakata City-based organization consisting of young fishers and more, launched a crowdfunding project for ocean cleaning. In addition to covering the costs of collecting beach waste, the group will run a social trial of scooping and collecting plastic debris out of the ocean using their fishing boats. Negative impacts of ocean wastes on marine ecosystems are widely known, while they also trigger damages to screw propellers and collisions. Source: Mainichi / Sea+Sons
