Bahamas Plastic Movement: Journey to Change

Initially this blog was started to track my journey across the Pacific Ocean as I studied plastic pollution of the Western Garbage Patch. Since departing the expedition in June 2012 my life has changed dramatically as I've been working towards making The Bahamas a pollution aware and plastic "free" country. I'm creating a movement and I invite you to follow along in my journey to raise awareness of plastic pollution in The Bahamas through research, education, outreach and policy change.

Where in the World is Kristal Ocean?

Forget Carmen San Diego! Let's focus on Miss Ocean for the time being haha!

So where in the world am I? I am at the Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan. After flying 13 hours from Houston, Texas we landed here about an hour ago. Local time here is 3: 42 pm, back home it's 2:43 am. After this short layover I have a 3.5 hour flight to Guam, where I'll be spending the night before departing for Majuro.
