summary
At Oceans for All Foundation, we wish to collaborate with all local actors who are prepared to embrace this necessary environmental transition. Through education, cooperation, and initiative, we aim to help create and develop an international reputation for Phuket as an Earth-friendly destination that will appeal to a new style of travelers - ecologically conscious visitors concerned with nature, beauty, and sustainability. Through four projects, we aim to preserve our natural habitat for future generations. Our Licence to Clean project involves a fleet of eco-friendly coastal cleaner catamarans that collect floating trash. The collected trash is separated by type and sent to a recycling plant with the help of local communities. This project not only prevents marine life from feeding on floating plastic but also provides a fantastic PR opportunity for the tourism industry, which can have their logos on the hulls. The boat is made from 100% recyclable plastic. Our Teamseagarden project involves growing and repopulating seagrass meadows, which play a crucial role in absorbing 35 times more CO2 than any land plant. The Shark Nursery project successfully breeds, raises, and releases over 200 sharks every year around Phuket, helping repopulate the reefs. Our Educ'Oceans project organizes conferences and workshops for schools, the hospitality industry, and corporations, raising awareness that the oceans produce 70% of the oxygen we breathe. If the ocean dies, we die.
