What is ITSB?

We are beach cleaners dedicated to combating marine pollution and preserving our oceans.

Our use of professional beach cleaning methods combined with our long-stay volunteer efforts make us one of the most effective beach cleaning operations in the world.

Our volunteers, armed with professional grade equipment custom-built to withstand arctic temperatures, are trained to help us clean more than 2X more effectively than other leading beach cleaning organizations.

Why support us?

We are dedicated to restoring a clean and thriving ocean, but we are dependent on support individuals and corporate sponsors alike to see our mission through. Every donation we receive makes a direct impact on our environment. 

  • For every 500 euros we receive, we clean 1 KM of coastline
  • We’ve removed over 1,700,000 KG of plastic pollution from our ecosystem
  • We’ve cleared over 1,500,000 meters of coastline
  • Our efforts have made an impact across 7 different countries

If you would like to help make a difference in restoring our environment, please consider donating to our mission.

What makes us unique?

We are volunteers and sailors, living on the ocean and fighting to protect it. We travel along the coastlines of the North Sea to restore a clean, thriving ocean. Our fleet of specially crafted vessels are custom built to withstand the North Sea’s frigid waters.

Operating in northern Europe, our focus remains in Arctic areas, cleaning some of the most difficult to access coastlines in the world that no other cleaning organization is equipped to tackle. 

But we can’t do this alone. We are dependent on donations from supporters like you to continue on our mission for an ocean free from plastic. Every gift, big or small, brings us one step closer to restoring a clean and thriving ocean for generations to come.
