Ayla Stephan has been picking up marine trash with her mom, Princess Obriot founder of MMBG, since she was 5 years old. She now has 10 years under her belt, participating in 28 coastal events. She’s hoping to be awarded a grant from the Captain Planet Foundation this year so she and her friends can produce an awareness video that will hopefully inspire other teens that keeping the beaches clean is cool. Ayla loves to draw and created stories and hopes to one day work in animation and have her own manga.
