threats to marine

animals, like fish

is pollution. Swallowing a plastic

bottle or getting tangled up in

a plastic bag can cause life-

threatening injuries for them.

That’s why 4ocean exists — it’s a

global company on a mission to

remove trash from the ocean and

coastlines and inspires individuals

to work together for a cleaner

ocean. And they have a very

special four-legged “employee”

who’s happy to help them reach

started in 2017,” Rachael Lobeck
