I decided to make the Plastic Reef as big as possible and went to the Hawaiian Islands..
For one day I joined the volunteer group B.E.A.C.H. who is collecting, categorising and counting every piece of plastic they find. They shipped five boxes after my departure which made the reef grow to about 1 m2. In February 2010 I joined the Pangaea Explorations on their research boat Sea Dragon, which is doing research on the plastic pollution worldwide. We crossed the Atlantic Ocean to gather as much plastic as possible and melt it into the growing Plastic Reef. In total I fished out almost 400 kilo, making the Plastic Reef, after three weeks of melting, about 2 x 3 m2’.
