We're hoping to have our gear back in stock this Summer. Thanks for asking.
A group of coastal cleanup volunteers sorting waste on the beach
Large recycling bins were delivered to the cleanup location and filled
Zero-waste aid products: reusable bottle, cup. bag, and cutlery
As important as the coastal cleanup is, what happens after. The debris is documented, sorted, and audited to determine type and source. We partner with local waste management and recycling partners to compost and upcycle accordingly. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Audit #Upcycling #Organic
Yes, this quote comes from the 1998 film ‘Shakespeare in Love”, specifically based on the opening narration of ‘Twelfth Night’ and featured as a play within the film.

We’re trying to keep volunteering, cleanup, and blue carbon solution, advocacy and awareness top-of-mind, so if you can spare $5 to help us keep the mission going! We thank you. Mahalo! #PostinfromtheOcean www.gofundme.com/f/support-we...
Mahalo to everyone who participated in yesterday’s cleanup!

Healing stone and lei
A prayer using the four phrases "I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you" aligns with the Hawaiian healing practice of “Ho'oponopono” to foster reconciliation, self-healing, and emotional release. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #AlohaFriday
The Margaret Mead quote, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has” with a drawing of the earth as the O in World.
In the spirit of Dr. Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue “Hope Spots” and Al Gore’s Climate Reality “Hope Budget” - While the future may seem bleak, and heading in the wrong direction, realize that you are not alone in your action. We are a tribe! #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean
Volunteers planting seedlings in a mangrove restoration
Our natural solution is mangroves; mangrove roots are known to increase the pH (alkalinity) in adjacent tropical waters— through biogeochemical cycling—therefore organically mitigating for ocean acidification. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #OceanAcidification #Mangroves #BlueCarbon

Ocean acidification reduces carbonate ions in seawater, severely hindering corals' ability to build their calcium carbonate skeletons. This creates weaker, less dense structures, reducing growth rates. Up to 90% of reefs are facing severe damage due to combined heating and acidification.

#OceanAcidification, the “evil twin” of #ClimateChange, is a direct consequence of excess atmospheric #CO2 dissolving into oceans—a "one-two-punch"—dissolving #Coral skeletons, inhibiting growth, and causing reef destruction. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate
Yes. (In fact, the starboard engine has fallen to the ground since our first visit.)

Mangrove propagules floating along with plastic debris on the ocean surface before cleanup.

Mangrove propagules found floating along with debris during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, mangrove restoration, and coral protection efforts together, as mangroves lower ocean acidification in adjacent waters. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #OceanCleanup #MangroveRestoration
Scientists Warn that the US Government is Accelerating Coral Reef Collapse www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The U.S. is accelerating coral reef collapse in both Florida and Guam through dredging projects and weakening the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Pacific habitats now risk the same “functional extinction” experienced in Florida. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Coral #CoralReefs #Extinction #Dredging

Blood Moon over the ocean
Because our icon is a tribal moon, we have an affinity for all things lunar. A rare total lunar eclipse occurred early this morning, turning the moon a deep red in a phenomenon known as a “blood moon.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #LunarEclipse #BloodMoon
Two researchers are bending down to sieve sand as part of the cleanup and research on microplastics on the coastline.
Microplastics are strewn across the beach at the high tide line.

Microplastics are ubiquitous. Primarily consisting of synthetic microfibers and plastic fragments resulting from textiles, fishing gear, and degraded debris, posing risks to marine life via ingestion and chemical contamination. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Microplastics

March is Seagrass Awareness Month. Seagrass provides essential ecological benefits by acting as a highly efficient "blue carbon" sink, up to 35x more effective than rainforests.
