Check out this video on how we cut this hawksbill turtle lose from some nasty plastic ropes on the beach on Isla Espiritu Santo in the Las Perlas Islands (Panamá). Our awesome friend Sheddy from Vet Tails Sailing Chuffed did an emergency operation on this poor little fella on her floating vet clinic, her sailboat Chuffed.
At In Mocean, we believe that tackling global challenges like plastic pollution requires collective effort. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with TRIXIE, the European market leader in pet supply. This collaboration, starting in January 2025, marks a great milestone in demonstrating the power of corporate partnerships for ocean conservation, and we’re excited to share the details with you.

Ahoy Nicolas,
thank you for your comment and for your interest about recycling plastic trash on your sailboat. We are using the mobile recycling machines from Precious Plastic Melbourne. You can find them on their website:
Mobile Shredder: https://www.plastic.org.au/products/shredder
Mobile Extruder: https://www.plastic.org.au/products/extruder-benchtop
They are compact, light weight and use very little energy so they can easily be run on a sailboat with solar power. Let me know if you would like more information on this, we are happy to get in touch and talk recycling afloat more in detail.
Thanks for being #inmoceanforcleanoceans,
Nike
