Plastic bottle boat sails the Pacific

The Plastiki and crew have reached the end of their epic voyage which has taken them through the Pacific Ocean on an 8,000 nautical mile adventure lasting over 130 days! The team arrived midday today at Sydney’s Australian National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour to an excited crowd of friends, family and supporters.

Plastiki’s mission has been to highlight just how polluted the Pacific is becoming – not least with plastic bottles. The crew are determined to protect our oceans and beat our waste.
