The Forty Eighth of my 40 donations goes to the organisation One Blue Ocean®. One Blue Ocean’s purpose is to ‘Connect One Billion People with Our Ocean by 2030’.
One Blue Ocean® is a global social change non-profit that strives to ensure a healthy blue ocean. They and I believe our ocean is essential to all life and that people are the solution to make meaningful change.
One Blue Ocean’s mission is to empower individuals to adopt ocean positive habits and shift cultural behaviour around the world.
One Blue Ocean® is built on the idea that creativity has the power to motivate. Their approach uses positive visual media and unique educational initiatives to build community and connection.
One Blue Ocean’s flagship project, The Great Ocean Experience, is an immersive, multisensory touring exhibition designed to inspire awareness and ignite change.
I consider myself to have significant first hand experience of the Ocean and am a creator who likes to share his view and experience of the Ocean with others via this 40s 4 40 blog, with photography on my Instagram @cjburgoine and video via my YouTube channel so I feel an affinity with what these people are doing and a great respect for the making what they love and are passionate into their day job. So I have donated.
As I went to donate, it was not clear which currency but the note at the bottom of the screen refers to US legislation so I have assumed USD.
I actually introduced myself to Henthorne, the CEO of One Blue Ocean® in Male airport having crossed paths with him a number of times in the Maldives, most notably when we are diving to observe the Manta Rays at Hanifaru Bay.
It is thanks to Henthorne that I found out how many Manta Rays were in the area that day and our interaction led to me speaking to and getting in touch with the Manta Trust.
Thank you; keep up the good work!
