Dream the Ocean Clean – How to protect the ocean while sleeping
There are big challenges in ocean conservation. “Dream the Ocean Clean” is a new, creative way to inspire future generations for this unique enironment. Marine conservation can now count on prominent support: The Icelandic musician Ólafur Arnalds and the film composer trio “Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg” composed a lullaby with ocean sounds that helps babies to sleep. The proceeds of the campaign played out via Spotify will be fully invested in projects to protect the world’s oceans.
OceanLove – the most beautiful sides of the ocean.
Many challenges are awaiting marine conservationists like you. Underwater noise, plastic pollution, overfishing, animal issues: there is much to do. We are so grateful that you do not turn a blind eye to these problems but help us find solutions. That is why we would like to thank you with a small gift. Each month, starting in January, we will send you a stunning picture of a marine animal to download for your desktop and mobile wallpaper, with a positive message or a fascinating fact.
