Now Some More About 5 Gyres ...

5 Gyres mission is to conduct research and communicate about the global impact of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and employ strategies to eliminate the accumulation of plastic pollution in the 5 subtropical gyres.

5 Gyres studies the 5 subtropical gyres by sailing through them. Together with their partners (Pangaea Explorations and Algalita Marine Research Foundation) 5 Gyres organizes research expeditions, inviting scientists, journalists and other sailors to join the crew.

To communicate about the global impact of plastic pollution, 5 Gyres shares their findings through multimedia outlets and
peer-reviewed publications.  These include print and television media, websites and blogs, lectures and school outreach, and a traveling exhibition about plastic pollution to museums, science centers and aquariums.

To eliminate plastic pollution 5 Gyres employs strategies that work.  To stop the flow of plastic to the sea 5 Gyres advocates new materials, better designed products, fair legislation, and engage in consumer education.  Post-consumer cleanup efforts focus on coastal and island debris removal and mitigation.
