In the spring of 2022, the Plastic Ocean Project aims to organize more beach clean ups and use artistic platforms such as photography and film to show the reality of an ocean in need of a life raft. The club is also preparing creative pieces for the 6th annual art gala: UNCW POP Plastic to Art. The gala is scheduled for April 8 at 5 at Hi-Wire Brewing.“I think we have a responsibility as an organization with a platform to amplify other voices, such as food insecurity in the Northside or bringing donations to our homeless population in places that we clean up. I think part of our growth as an organization has been to become more connected to our community and to continue to understand that all things are connected,” said Sam Shore, President of the Plastic Ocean Project.
