The Ocean Cleanup launched the largest Interceptor ever deployed and initiated a data-driven coastal sweep in the Gulf of Honduras.

Cutting-edge science and technology, coupled with hands-on local action, in partnership with the Guatemalan Ministry of Environment, are helping eradicate plastic pollution at scale, protecting marine life, safeguarding coastal communities, and creating real environmental and social impact.
