I recently came across an ocean cleanup project and I felt like they're doing some amazing work in the field. There maybe other ones out there doing excellent work, so if there are others, please let me know in the comments and I can do some research on them. But here is a project I found.

https://theoceancleanup.com/

Every year, millions of tons of plastic flow out into the oceans mainly from rivers and they get accumulated somewhere in the middle of a large ocean. A very popular one is the great Pacific garbage patch. This is really harmful to the environment as it messes up the entire ecosystem of life in the water. If the fishes in the ocean consume this plastic, you can imagine that this will end up on your plate too at some point in some form or the other. This is why every one of us should care about the plastic pollution in the oceans.

Right now, the team at The Ocean Cleanup takes plastic trash out of the ocean but they also have plans to build interceptors at the rivers level which is mainly where the trash starts accumulating in the first place.

How you can help?

This project seems to have raised a lot of money from big names but there is a way you can help continue this mission.

https://products.theoceancleanup.com/

The Ocean Cleanup company makes sunglasses out of the recycled plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and if you donate € 199, you can get a pair of these glasses too, 100% of all the proceeds from this sale will continue to go into the Ocean Cleanup project again.

If you are unable to spend that kind of money, what you can do is spread awareness of this situation and make people realize the situation that we are in currently.
