Explore The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

5100 nautical miles
Departing May 2023

Blue Moon is sailing from  Oahu, Hawaii to Long Beach, Ca and then Back to Hawaii. We will be sailing North into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  
We want everyone to see what is there.

Over 35 days on the open ocean.

​The Great Pacific Garbage Patch could be one of the largest environmental disasters in history.  There is too much confusion as to what it is and even where it is.  We want to show everyone what is there and where we found it.  We sailed through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch collecting data and samples for NASA, NOAA, University of Hawaii, The Smithsonian, and others. We are not being paid to do this, and none of the organizations are contributing to our costs. We are solely dependent on your generosity and concern for the truth about our environment to fund our initiatives.  

Follow our blog, facebook, and instagram updates daily to see what we are experiencing.  We take photo and video above and under water and with drones flying above the trash we encounter.
