Clean the ocean.
One study session at a time.
We want to turn students’ focus into funding for a cleaner ocean. A shared goal. A visible contribution. Every validated hour counts.

A global problem.
A practical place to act.
Protecting the ocean means stopping new plastic and addressing what is already there.
- 171 trillionparticles
- 2019 modelled mean, mostly microplastics. Estimated range: 82–358 trillion. [1]
- 0.8–2.7 milliontonnes / year
- Estimated plastic entering the ocean through rivers. A 2021 model estimate. [2]
- 80%of river plastic emissions
- Attributed to more than 1,000 rivers in the same model, helping target action. [2]
Turning focused study into shared progress.
Starting model: every validated study hour adds €0.05 to a sponsor-funded community goal.

€1,500 shared target
30,000 validated community hours · €1.50 target per active student.
| Week 1 | €500 |
|---|---|
| Week 2 | €1,000 |
| Week 3 | €1,500 — target reached |
| Week 4 | Participation buffer |
Each target is set in advance, based on expected active participation. Targets can scale between challenges but stay fixed during each one. The €0.05 hourly rate stays the same.
Funding beyond the target is still to be agreed for the pilot.
