Team Seas, stylized as #TeamSeas, is a collaborative fundraiser project created by YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober as a follow up to #TeamTrees with the goal to remove 30 million pounds (13.6 million kg) of ocean trash by the end of 2021. Half of the donations goes to Ocean Conservancy, and the other half goes to The Ocean Cleanup and the UN which gave the task to clean the seas and the rivers respectively.
Background
After the success of Team Trees, Mark Rober and MrBeast wanted to do a similar project, this time addressing trash in the ocean and on the beaches. MrBeast tweeted on February 13, 2020 that to celebrate 30 million subscribers, he would launch a similar project where he removes 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean.
Responses
On October 29, 2021, MrBeast and Mark Rober released a video showcasing a trip to the Dominican Republic where they helped clean up several beaches in the area, with one being located at the infamous Bajos de Haina; as well as helping underserved communities dispose of their trash without throwing it into the rivers that lead to the ocean. Many YouTubers also joined in on the movement.
