Art made by villagers in a small town in Mexico called Yelapa 😍 They collect bottle caps found on the beach thrown by visitors and create art with it to inspire people passing through the village to keep the oceans clean, as well as taking something dirty and turn it into something beautiful! Shoutout to Yelapa!!!

World's largest freshwater fish found in Mekong! A

World's largest freshwater fish found in Mekong! A 300kg (661lb) stingray caught in the Mekong river in Cambodia is the biggest freshwater fish ever documented, scientists say. The Mekong is rich in biodiversity but overfishing, dams and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystem. Let’s keep our rivers and oceans clean and we will keep discovering beautiful surprises!

Let’s all applaud all Airlines that have declare

Let’s all applaud all Airlines that have declared they don’t carry sharks fins! What is shark finning? Shark finning refers to the act of slicing the fins off a shark, often while it is still alive then dumping its body at sea because it has no value. These sharks then sink to the ocean floor, suffocate and bleed to death. A twitter campaign began to encourage more airlines to join the movement! The message states: “Airlines and sharks can’t flywithoutfins.org. Sharks are vital for oceans but killed for shark fin soup. Many airlines still fly fins but got $123bn COVID-19 bailouts; sharks got none. Please STOP carrying shark fins.”

Efforts to raise public awareness about plastic po

Efforts to raise public awareness about plastic pollution have quickly led to improvements in the environment 🌏 🙌 🌊

“Almost 30% in six years is really heartening and can help people understand the impacts of our behaviours.” says Denise Hardesty, CSIRO researcher and one of the paper’s co-authors.

Some individual locations showed larger improvements, the greatest being a 73% decline in the amount of litter recorded.

“It’s an amazing testimony of how much can change and how quickly you can see that change in the environment,” Hardesty said.

Today we’re starting a multi-year series of Ocea

Today we’re starting a multi-year series of OceanLove Stories: short, simple videos in which we put the spotlights on maritime change-makers, front-runners, activists, innovators. It will bring hope, new ideas and encouragement for anyone who wants to stand up for the oceans! You can follow the series on our socials, our website and YouTube channel. OceanLove Story #1 is with Venancio Tillett, who tells us about the way the fishing and diving community of Belize succeeded in preventing oil drilling near pristine coral reef and inspired a national law against any future oil drilling in its oceans!

Happy birthday to the great Stevie Wonder! With Ma

Happy birthday to the great Stevie Wonder! With May being the month to ACT, Wonder sets a great example as he has long supported the civil rights movement in the US with his music. With his art and power of speech he’s still dedicated to the Black Lives Matter Movement and making the world a better place! In picture he’s together with our founder Ilco van der Linde, during an United Nations event, where they both got rewards for peacebuilding works.

Today it’s Liberation Day in The Netherlands. Over one million people celebrate freedom by attending Liberation Festivals in every region of the country. Artists sing in support of human rights. NGOs recruit new volunteers for their works, since peace, freedom and human rights still are dramatically challenged in many countries. This project is developed by OceanLove founder Ilco van der Linde, who started with this when he was just 15 and his father gave him 100 dollars to start with… Bottom-line: activism doesn’t require age or money, only a good cause and dedication!

Our humanitarian challenges are strongly connected

Our humanitarian challenges are strongly connected to our ecological challenges! The oldest Dutch activist Jan Terlouw (90) tells the youngest activist in Belgium Anuna De Wever (20) “In the history of life on earth, nature has been threatened with extinction five times already, and now, for the first time, humans are the instigators!” Jan explains that wanting to be an activist has been self-evident from his childhood onwards. “My father loved nature, he was always busy taking care of the plants on the windowsill and was able to make a dead cactus bloom!” Let us get inspired by OceanLove’s first ambassadors, connect to our inner activist too and bring life back to our oceans!!
