The '''Blue Ocean Project''' is an initiative led by [[ASEZ WAO (Church of God Young Adult Worker Volunteer Group)|ASEZ WAO]], the Church of God Young Adult Worker Volunteer Group, with the goal of protecting marine ecosystems. ASEZ WAO members conduct cleanups and campaigns to safeguard the environment and ecosystems of streams, rivers, and beaches worldwide. By collaborating with environmental organizations and local governments, they ensure that their activities are both timely and sustainable.

Oceans and rivers are treasure troves of ecological resources. Covering three-quarters of the earth’s surface, the ocean supports diverse living organisms, including marine algae, mammals, and invertebrates. It also controls the balance of ~~earth’s~~ climate by transporting solar heat and oxygen as it circulates throughout the planet. It also absorbs about 30% of atmospheric carbon dioxide, mitigating climate change and its impact.<ref>[https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/oceans/ Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources,] ''United Nations''</ref>
