The Ijo Gading River is Bali's largest ocean plastic contributor, accounting for 12% of the plastic that enters the ocean from inland Bali.
Which is why working on this river daily to intercept ocean-bound trash and prevent it from reaching the sea is vital to our entire cleanup operation!
Our crew sails down the river with a modified Jukung boat, that sits up to seven people & can hold up to 5 tons of trash! They use nets to collect as much trash as possible before it reaches the ocean.
Those efforts are supplemented by utilizing boom systems within the Ijo Gading River, which act as a floating barrier at over 30 meters long, and are strategically placed to capture river plastic before it can become ocean plastic.
