Supporting Our Charity Partner - Ocean Generation
Acre has partnered with Ocean Generation (Formally known as Plastic Oceans UK) since 2017 to support their mission and expansion. We do so via fundraising and pro-bono recruitment support. Ocean Generation is empowering an inclusive global movement to tackle Ocean threats through science and storytelling. Find out more at: www.oceangeneration.org
“We see a world where the Ocean is freed from human threats within a generation. Our ultimate goal is to restore a healthy relationship between humanity and the Ocean. Because as the first generation to deeply understand Ocean issues, we are also the last generation who can stop them. We are all the Ocean Generation.”
