1. On the 2nd of December 2019, a 10-ton Sperm Whale washed up on Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris in Scotland. It had 100kg of rope, fishing net, and plastic debris in it's stomach.
2. Three-months later, I was a Diver on the salvage of the MV Kaami which hit a reef 20km from Luskentyre Beach.
3. The MV Kaami was carrying 1937 tons of refuge derived fuel, (shredded waste and plastic). Diving in this amount of plastic debris inspired me.
4. During one of my dives, I found a small blue ball which i kept in the pocket of my diving suit.
5. We started to work with a recycler rope and fishing net.
6. I shredded the blue ball and added it to a mix of rope and net to manufacture this plant pot by hand. Ocean Plastic Pots was born.
