OCG - Saving The Ocean, a non-profit organization, is committed to saving the coasts and marine lives from plastic pollution.

The company built a Google Chrome search engine extension to help clean the ocean. The more a user searches, the more relevant ads are shown. OCG - Saving The Ocean receives a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying and uses it to fund the cleanup operations.

OCG began its first cleanup operation in Bali, Indonesia and expects to expand around SouthEast Asia.
