4Ocean is on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis

4ocean was founded on the belief that business can be a force for good and that the single actions of individual people, collectively, have the power to change the world. As both a public benefit corporation and Certified B Corp, we’re committed to ending the ocean plastic crisis.

While our professional, full-time captains and crews recover harmful marine debris that’s already polluting the ocean, we also work to stop plastic pollution at its source by educating people about this global crisis and empowering them to end their dependence on single-use plastic.

We at TSS should support this effort by not using single use plastic water bottles, containers, straws, utencils, etc.
