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.
