We partner with cities and municipalities to implement innovative ocean plastic reduction efforts and are spearheading an ocean plastic river capture project in Vietnam.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Directors Jean Nelson and Will Martin are married.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe 990 is prepared by an outside firm. The CFO performs a detailed review of the 990, reconciles any questions and modifies the return if necessary. The 990 is then forwarded to the Finance Committee for further questions. After their review and any adjustments if necessary, the 990 is forwarded to the entire Board and then filed with IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cConflict of interest policy disclosure statements are to be prepared at least annually. In the case where a possible conflict by an employee other than the CEO of the organization is identified, the CEO shall determine whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or can be reasonably construed to exist and how the conflict of interest should be resolved. When a conflict of interest is disclosed by a covered person other than a covered employee or by the CEO, the Chair shall disclose the conflict of interest to the Board of Directors or a designated committee. Then by majority vote of the disinterested Directors (even if the disinterested Directors constitute less than a quorum) it will be decided whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or can be reasonably construed to exist. Proposals to the full Board of Directors as to how the conflict of interest should be resolved will then be provided.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Board sets the President & CEO's salary based on its evaluation of their performance.
