A Bracelet for the Ocean


How Jewelry Can Help Save the Ocean
I am wearing a lovely bracelet made of clear 'glass' beads on a blue braid (a green bracelet was available for Earth Day). I love it! My bracelet is waterproof and so adjustable it will fit anyone.

The blue cord on my bracelet is recycled polyethylene terephthalate from water bottles and the beads come from glass bottles. The 4Ocean charm on each bracelet is stainless steel.

Pull a Pound

And best of all, it’s good for the ocean! The clear glass beads on my wrist are made from the equivalent of one pound of plastic trash removed from the seas through local clean-ups and global efforts – from Key Largo (pre-Irma) to Montserrat to California, Connecticut, Canada, the Philippines, Norway, the Bahamas and Eleuthera.

Thanks, Irma!

Thanks to Hurricane Irma, more trash has entered the ocean in the past 10 days than in the last 10 months. 4Ocean is working overtime.

And, Best of All!

Watch Lila the dog* collect plastic bottles from the ocean and the beach! To her, it's all a game. Good girl, Lila!

Recycling Trash Since January 2017


Two scuba divers starting picking up trash and in January founded 4Ocean. The movement has since grown to 34 full-time employees.

4Ocean conducts both onshore beach clean-ups that you can volunteer for to prevent trash from entering the ocean environment, and five offshore boat clean-ups around the world to remove trash that is already in the ocean.

Success Around the World Cleaning the Ocean 7 Days a Week

US                  37,312 pounds of trash removed for recycling

Bahamas - 31,173 pounds
Canada - 871 pounds
Montserrat -1,102 pounds
Haiti - 15,615 pounds
Philippines - 3,647 pounds
Norway - 3,192 pounds and counting!

Buy it. You’ll Love it.

Buy it because it’s beautiful, both in appearance and philosophy. Spread the word. You owe it to yourself – and to our oceans.
