Find working long term solutions for plastic pollution
Therefore, we and all watersports communities come together and collect marine debris. We also provide the necessary knowledge and structure to make sure the collected plastic don't just get dumped but reused in a variety of creative ways.

As a result, we make sure that in all those places that were previously covered with meadows we plant them again to reconstruct a natural key habitat for the ecosystems!
We are building a network of collaborators
Such as Dive Centers, charter fleets, fishing communities, and other water sports enthusiasts all working together towards better health and sustainable development of our oceans.
