Interest in sustainability is on the rise, which is a very good thing. We understand land-based issues better than marine issues. O3C plays an important role in educating us about the ocean. Thank you O3C for filling in a knowledge gap for us and for our children, and doing it in a fun and effective ways.

It has been an enriching and enlightening experience partnering with Ocean3C throughout the past years. We are forever grateful for the opportunities to lend a small helping hand at their well organised beach clean ups by recycling discarded plastic bottles, and to continuously learn from their passionate and dedicated team!
