Introduction

In the time it takes to read this sentence, another garbage truck of plastic has been dumped into our oceans [1]. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans [2]. This isn't just about statistics - it's about survival: of marine life, our climate systems, and ultimately, ourselves. The global crisis demands innovative funding approaches beyond traditional philanthropy.

While technology for ocean cleanup exists and continues to advance, the fundamental challenge lies in sustainable funding mechanisms. Current environmental initiatives operate within a system that prioritizes short-term metrics over long-term impact, creating cycles of funding uncertainty and operational inefficiency.

The emergence of meme-driven cryptocurrencies has demonstrated unprecedented ability to mobilize resources and build engaged communities. However, this powerful force has yet to be effectively harnessed for solving real-world problems (RWP). The gap between viral community growth and meaningful environmental impact represents an unprecedented opportunity.

What is needed is a bridge between these two worlds - combining the viral power of memes with structured environmental giving. In this paper, we propose Smart Donation Memes (SD Memes), a new model that transforms community engagement into sustainable environmental impact. By aligning tokenomics with ocean conservation, we create a system where growth directly drives environmental action, without the limitations of traditional funding models.
