She replied back to states that she will come up with varieties of strategies with intensive research to guide her ideas of benefiting and improving on the marine life. 

Although Victoria is a major expert in providing strategies to benefit the environment around the world, she still needed to conduct research for marine plastic pollution and came across a website that demonstrates how the company invented a clean up specifically for the marine life in the ocean.
