What We Stand For and What We Love
Ocean Fighter stands for clean oceans and beaches, for freedom, love, and the endless adventure that lies within each of us. As part of the Ocean Fighter crew, you chase the highest waves and feel a deep connection to nature.
We love the vastness of the oceans, the mysterious depths of the seas, and the magic of shimmering sea foam. That’s why it’s important for us to join forces with like-minded people to achieve even greater things together. For this reason, we collaborate with The Living Ocean.
With every product sold, we donate 5 euros to this amazing NGO, led by Yong Mi, to support the protection and preservation of the oceans. They initiate beach clean-ups, conduct awareness projects in schools and kindergartens to raise awareness for a clean environment, and encourage the next generation to take action.
Other exciting projects include sea cucumber farms in Zanzibar that create new jobs, the protection of sea turtle nests, coral restoration and monitoring, as well as many other important initiatives.
About
The Living Ocean
A Deep Love for the Ocean and Underwater World The story of The Living Ocean began with Yong Mi, their passionate founder, who spent 15 unforgettable years in Zanzibar. Although she was ready to return to Europe, her deep love for the ocean and its underwater wonders kept her in Zanzibar for all those years. During her time there, Yong Mi witnessed firsthand the dramatic changes in the marine environment. In her early years, she discovered an underwater paradise filled with vibrant corals, countless turtles, sharks, rays, and schools of fish.
However, as the years passed, she noticed a troubling decline in marine life – the fish became fewer, the corals less vibrant, and the once-abundant turtles almost disappeared. What was once a daily sighting of 20-40 turtles dwindled to just one sighting in an entire month after 15 years. This heartbreaking reality led Yong to embark on a journey to investigate the causes and ultimately led to the creation of Under The Wave in Zanzibar with co-founder Laura Rosset and The Living Ocean foundation in The Netherlands.
