Next expedition

Philippines

After Bali, Kota Kinabalu, and Ambon, our next expedition is being prepared in the Philippines. As always, we will only launch it once it is fully funded, alongside strong local partners.

Our method

A proven model in Bali and Kota Kinabalu

Since our pilot expedition in Bali, each expedition lasts 3 years and follows the same steps for measurable and sustainable results.

Intercept

A Mobula collects plastic waste in rivers, ports, and bays before it reaches the open sea.

Analyze and raise awareness

Every piece of waste is weighed and sorted, and our teams explain the journey of plastic in schools and communities.

Hand over

After 3 years, the boat and the skills are handed over to our local partners, who continue the action.

Support our expeditions

Making the Philippines expedition possible

We only launch an expedition when it is fully funded. The Philippines expedition depends on you: individuals, companies, and foundations, every bit of support brings us closer to departure.

How your donations are used

  • Construction of the next Mobula and its delivery
  • The local crew and all costs related to collection for 3 years
  • Sorting and recycling of collected waste
  • Raising awareness in schools and coastal communities

Our accounts are audited annually by BDO and our reports are publicly accessible.
