INHERITANCE, LEGACY & WILL A gift in your will for her future

With a legacy or by leaving part of your estate to OceanCare, you can ensure that our seas and marine animals have a future. Together, we can preserve this unique habitat for future generations.

«Happiness is the only thing that doubles when you share it.»
Albert Schweizer

A gift in your will

We all want future generations to enjoy a world where our ocean and the life in it thrive. With your legacy, you are helping OceanCare to make sure that marine animals and their habitats are protected. Even a small amount can make an astonishing difference.

How gifts in wills help

The oceans are vital to us all. They provide us with food, oxygen and regulate the climate. We will keep protecting them from destruction, poaching and climate change, but we need help. Our seas and the life in it are in danger – which means our work is more vital than ever. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of people who leave us a legacy. Thank you for being at our side and ensuring that this unique habitat is preserved for future generations.

«Without life in the sea, there is no life on land.»

Sigrid Lüber, founder of OceanCare

Sigrid, you included OceanCare in your will with a legacy.

With my legacy, I want to pass something on to the next generation, because I was lucky enough to be able to live my vocation. Since I made a bequest in my will in favour of OceanCare, I look forward to the evening of my life with serenity. Because the popular saying about the last shirt having no pockets fits with the certainty that there is a life after that – perhaps on earth, perhaps in heaven, but certainly in the vastness of the oceans.

Why are legacies important for OceanCare?

With a legacy, special projects that are important but difficult to finance can be started. With the help of a legacy OceanCare was able to launch the SaveMoby project. Without the commitment of a long-standing benefactor, this important instrument in whale protection, which is unique worldwide, would not have been possible. I am enormously grateful for this.
