5 Gyres Institute

The 5 Gyres Institute is an environmental organization dedicated to addressing plastic pollution in the world's oceans. It focuses on the "gyres," which are large systems of rotating ocean currents where debris, especially plastic, accumulates. The organization conducts research to understand the scale of plastic pollution, advocates for policy changes to reduce plastic use, and raises public awareness through education and outreach. By highlighting the impact of plastic on marine ecosystems and human health, 5 Gyres aims to inspire individuals and communities to take action towards cleaner oceans and a healthier planet.
