They motivate me, lift my spirits, provide great insight into the issue and come up with the most creative ideas in terms of plastic pollution awareness and solutions. “ - Kristal

“My involvement with the plastic pollution issue results from a lifetime of being in and around the ocean. With the enjoyment of learning to surf, sail, or dive, comes the responsibility of learning how we can protect the most essential resource we have on this planet. I’ve been inspired by ocean activists that I have met around the world, with Kristal Ambrose at the top of that list. She is motivating the next generation to approach challenges with intelligence and optimism. “ - Jack Johnson

Meet Kristal Ambrose- aka “Kristal Ocean”- an environmental scientist studying marine debris and plastic pollution in The Bahamas, and the founder of The Bahamas Plastic Movement. “Operating under the pillars of Research, Education, Citizen Science and Policy Change, our organization functions to bring attention to this issue of plastic pollution while providing feasible solutions for the everyday person. We work closely with youth to empower them to become activists and understand the importance of using their voices to make a difference. Working with youth is the most inspiring process for me personally.
