Team Seas, stylized as #TeamSeas, is an international collaborative fundraiser project run by YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober as a follow up to TeamTrees with the goal to remove 30,000,000 pounds (14,000,000 kg) of marine debris by the end of 2021. It is the largest creator-led fundraising project on the internet to date. With thousands of creators alerting their viewers about the project. Partnering with the charities Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup to take action from donations to remove trash. The project hopes to inspire young people to make a change to the earth and it's oceans to keep it trash free for future generations.

Background

After seeing the success of TeamTrees passing it's goal, MrBeast addressed to the internet that he wanted to make projects like TeamTrees "a yearly thing." Making the project an successor to TeamTrees. Because of the two creators large follower count, a project like this would make an lasting impact on the world. And would reach many audiences through their large audiences. Inspiring many audiences including young ones that would find this message and initiative to be lifechanging. Hoping that people realize the world is too important to be trashed by humans without any response. They decided on a goal 10 million more than TeamTrees, which had a goal of 20 million trees planted. Meaning 30,000,000 pounds (14,000,000 kg) of trash removed if $30 million are donated by the end of 2021. Creators were encouraged to post content persuading people to donate and help the cause by reaching the goal. Youtube Orginals partially funded the project and was another supporter with an large audience.

The two creators partnered with two charities Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup which received the donations. The Ocean Conservancy was tasked to clean beached ruined by trash, as well as "fishing out" trash from the ocean directly. While The Ocean Cleanup was tasked to deploy its Intereceptor robots on the rivers in the world that pollute the ocean with the most trash. Each donation of $1 was promised to remove 1 pound of trash from the ocean in some way. With each donation split between the two charities, every donation is monitored so that the organizations use the money to properly remove the promised amount of trash.

MrBeast teased on February 13, 2020, that to celebrate 30 million subscribers, he would start the project TeamSeas. The announcement immediately received positive feedback and support. Followed by the creation of the TeamSeas twitter account.

Interviews that followed include Mrbeast confirming TeamSeas was going to be a thing in 2021, and he needed as many creators as possible. As well as indicating that it would be a project similar to TeamTrees.

On October 13, 2021, other social media accounts for TeamSeas were made, hinting the start of the project soon.

On October 18, 2021, MrBeast confirmed on twitter that there would be an event to save the oceans. And that it would be a collaboration with Mark Rober. He invited all influencers to also join in on the movement, hoping it would be the largest social media collaboration in history. Official TeamSeas logos were also released on the social media accounts in the days ahead.

On October 23, 2021, an unlisted video from MrBeast to creators about TeamSeas was leaked, confirming the project and it's large scale.

On October 25, 2021, the official TeamSeas website went live and donations were being accepted. Although no official video was posted from MrBeast or Mark Rober, the TeamSeas Instagram page got it's logo.

MrBeast released one of the original and official videos about the project showing his team cleaning beaches as volunteers for Ocean Conservancy at an event with many other local volunteers in the Dominican Republic. With one of the beaches being located at the infamous Bajos de Haina. Half of the video showed the experience of the volunteering for this cause and another half talking about the project and it's details.

Mark Rober's video was also a original and official video of the project, and was also filmed in the Dominican Republic. But his video was more focused on The Ocean Cleanup's Intereceptor robot, and how it works.
