No-Trash Triangle Initiative Based in the heart of the Coral Triangle we aim to save Earth's highest marine diversity from plastic waste through science-based knowledge and action.

So far in 2026, we've received 4 tonnes of plastic waste from Blue Bay Divers Saronde Island across seven truck deliveries. They typically send one truck each month, and sometimes two, depending on the amount of waste collected.

Once it arrives, our team receives, weighs, and sorts the waste at our station as part of its further management.

This is why partnerships matter. Collecting waste on an island is only the first step. Island waste management also requires reliable logistics, sorting infrastructure, and partners willing to work together across locations.

Thank you, Anke Andree and the Saronde Island Dive Resort team, for making plastic waste management part of your operation and continuing to work with us toward a cleaner ocean👏🏻

No trending audio. Just real footage from the work happening on the ground.

Protecting our environment isn't built on one big moment. It's built on showing up consistently, day after day.

Every cleanup removes plastic before it reaches the ocean, helping create cleaner rivers, healthier oceans, and a future with less plastic pollution.

When we started this initiative back in 2017, there was never really a Plan B.

Based in North Sulawesi, at the heart of the Coral Triangle, we're surrounded by one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth. It's something we must protect.

That's why our work goes beyond beach cleanups. We collect and sort waste, prevent plastic from flowing through rivers, educate coastal youth, support science-based research, and work alongside local communities and businesses to tackle plastic pollution before it reaches the ocean.

Here's something your algorithm should show you more often📱

Rivers are one of the last lines of defense to stop plastic before it reaches the ocean. That's why we maintain 20 No-Trash River Barriers across Manado.

In 2025 alone, these barriers intercepted 100+ tons of plastic waste before it could flow into the ocean.

Every bag collected is the result of our team showing up every day to remove, sort, and recycle plastic from the rivers.

Lasting change, however, happens when more people become part of the effort. On this Indonesian National River Day, let's remember that we have shared responsibility to protect our rivers and oceans.

Every School on the Beach season leaves us with more than memories; it leaves us with hope for the future of our ocean💙

Seeing young people on coastal islands become more curious, more confident, and more eager to protect the places they call home reminds us that real, lasting change starts with experiences that stay with them long after the lessons end.

A new school year is just around the corner, and we're looking for passionate educators to join our journey!

Join our School on the Beach team and inspire the next generation of ocean stewards🌊

Throughout this School on the Beach season, we have witnessed that lasting environmental stewardship begins with curiosity, connection, and a sense of belonging.

The students’ questions, enthusiasm, and growing care for the ocean reaffirmed what we strongly believe: when young people feel connected to nature, they're more likely to protect it.

As we prepare for the next School on the Beach season, we're looking for a passionate Environmental Educator to help inspire the next generation of ocean stewards.

Ocean conservation often starts with a conversation🌊

Through our long-standing partnerships with Siladen Resort & Spa and , we regularly meet with guests from around the world to give presentation about the local realities of plastic pollution in North Sulawesi.

During these sessions, we explain how our river barriers and sorting station work, and why community-based waste management is essential for protecting our ocean. Many guests are surprised to learn that only around 1% of plastic in the ocean floats on the surface, while the rest sinks, breaks into microplastics, or remains out of sight.

These conversations often continue beyond the presentation. Guests ask questions, visit our sorting station, and some choose to support our work through donations. It's a reminder that understanding local challenges is the first step toward protecting the places we all care about.

Thank you to Siladen Resort and Coral Eye for creating space for these conversations and helping connect visitors with the people behind our ocean conservation👏🏻

Memories like these are priceless. Storage can always be extended. Too many wholesome moments with our School on the Beach kids to ever hit "delete."

What a privilege it is to watch their curiosity grow and their love for the ocean get stronger💙
