Clean Up Programs
Passion, Power, and Purpose in Action
Ocean Crusaders isn’t just about picking up rubbish—we’re leading a movement to transform how the world tackles marine pollution. Our clean-up programs are bold, effective, and built for lasting impact, combining community spirit, cutting-edge tech, and boots-on-the-ground determination.
- Hardcore Clean-Ups – Tackling the toughest marine pollution with boats, machines, and manpower in remote and high-impact areas.
- Community Events – Engaging local groups in fun, educational clean-ups that empower people to protect their own waterways.
- Tech-Driven Solutions – Using drones, GPS mapping, and data tracking to clean smarter and target pollution more effectively.

Showcasing Innovation
- The Ocean Crusaders team believe actions speak louder than words.
- Everything we do is designed to change people’s behaviour, to show that actions make a difference.
- Which is why we created a 100% electric, zero carbon emission race yacht – the first of its kind.
- Which is why we have worked to remove thousands of tons of waste from Australia’s waterways to help protect our oceans.
- Support the Ocean Crusaders in a 3 year campaign to influence the behaviour of consumers and those who benefit the most from our ocean resources.
