Crowdsourced Projects

Cutting River Plastic Waste

Rivers around the world funnel plastic waste into the ocean at an alarming rate, causing harmful effects on ocean animals, coastal economies, and human health. We are partnering with The Coca-Cola Foundation to provide a combined $11 million to address this problem. The fund supports the Clean Currents Coalition, a network of interdisciplinary teams working across the globe to launch pilot projects to capture plastic waste from polluted rivers and create behavior change through community outreach campaigns.

Reducing Whale-Ship Collisions

Fatal ship collisions are one of the main threats facing endangered whales. The Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory and partners have launched Whale Safe, a technology-based mapping and analysis tool that collects and displays near real-time whale and ship data to help prevent whale-ship collisions. It is the first near real-time, actionable whale notification system that incorporates AI-powered ocean sensors, big data models, citizen science, and ship tracking data.
