Oceano Azul Foundation
It is time to get back to your true nature, you were born in water, not land. We come from the ocean, and we are part of it. The ocean’s point of view matters. #oceansays
Our goal
This action consists in using leaders in their field of action as vehicles to spread the Foundation’s message and reach a broader audience, including youngsters, and generate awareness for ocean conservation using their own approach and language. Leaders for ocean sustainability may be sports references, artists, musicians and others.
This Action is thought to reinforce the Blue Generation program.
