Ocean Blue is a nonprofit environmental organization based in Heathsville, VA, dedicated to removing ocean microplastics and protecting the waterways in our ocean. Founded in 2012 in Newport, Oregon, by Richard and Fleet Arterbury, tribal members of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Ocean Blue invites you to join their mission to protect and restore our One World Ocean. At Ocean Blue, diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of their values.

They collaborate with agencies, organizations, and individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing tools and resources for anyone wanting to achieve a common goal. Their staff also mentors those who may not have the experience, knowledge, or opportunity to do so. Ocean Blue is committed to taking action and meeting the needs of marginalized communities to achieve equality.

They strive to stay positive and solution-oriented in all their endeavors. With the core values of collaboration, equality, action, and nobility, Ocean Blue works tirelessly to protect and restore our waterways and the wildlife that depends on them. To support their mission, you can get involved through volunteer opportunities, beach cleanup crew leaders, or by visiting the Ocean Blue Store.
