4ocean Unfiltered: Behind the Bold Battle for Our Oceans
Dominic Manzo, 4ocean Content Producer
Plastic pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Nothing illustrates this reality more effectively than witnessing its devastating impact firsthand. In our latest behind-the-scenes vlog, we take you to Tratas Beach and the Pang Pang River in Java, located to the west of Bali, where plastic waste forms layers as deep as 5 to 7 feet. These heartbreaking scenes emphasize the urgent need to find alternatives to single-use plastics.
The Power of Partnership
Every cleanup effort is made possible by our incredible partners, including AmeraTrail, Garmin, Carolina Skiff, and many more. Their support and resources are essential in helping us achieve our goals. Through documenting our work, we not only highlight the scale of the crisis but also inspire others to take action.
The Tragic Encounter
During this episode, we run into a jellyfish swimming next to a plastic bag, one of the main reasons why sea turtles die from ingestion. This heartbreaking moment serves as a reminder of the critical work ahead to protect marine life from plastic pollution.
Meet the Team Behind the Mission
From navigating boats to capturing stunning underwater photography, our dedicated crew is passionate about every aspect of the cleanup. Together, we are creating innovative solutions for a healthier ocean.
