Seawork environment partner launches member scheme
Seawork’s official Environmental Partner the Big Blue Ocean Cleanup has launched an Official Verified Partner scheme that offers a range of benefits to those who join, including 20% off member rates for Seawork exhibitors.
Based in Gibraltar, the non-profit runs clean-ups around the world, engaging volunteers, community groups, company employees and many others and alerting them to the plastic poisoning the world’s waters.
As well as encouraging clean-ups, the organisation also gathers data to pass on to scientists, universities and governments to help inform them about the situation. If nothing is done, the group believes, there could well be more plastic than fish in our oceans within 30 years.
The partnership aims at brands and companies who want to make a positive contribution to ocean health, and members get full commercial rights to use Big Blue Ocean Cleanup logos, videos and photography; support for any clean-up operations they want to kick off; marketing support and company logo and link added to the Official Partners page.
“Big Blue Ocean Cleanup is a international ocean conservation non-profit that does good in the world,” says Rory Sinclair, CEO of the Big Blue Ocean Cleanup. “Our mission is to keep the oceans clean and repair marine ecosystems, allowing nature and people to thrive.
“We help keep the oceans clean with clean-up initiatives, create educational resources for schools, send out clean-up equipment to community groups, research ocean pollution and raise awareness for clean oceans.
“We work with a range of companies, businesses, community groups and individuals to get as many people as possible to help clean up our blue planet. Support our worldwide mission to end ocean pollution by getting involved – and we can do a SEAWORK 20% discount if they become an Official Verified Partner of Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and engage in ocean conservation support.”
Big Blue Ocean Cleanup’s logos can be seen at the water stations at Seawork, the commercial marine exhibition and conference that celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.
