OCEANSCAPES Founder Kristin Hettermann was inspired to create a product line of ocean art pieces that could be used and admired, but also support and raise awareness for the challenges the ocean is facing, “I have been very impressed with the efficient and effective work that Ocean Global has done in the past few years in the ocean conservation space and wanted to do something to support their goals. Among other things, Oceanic Global takes a uniquely creative approach to conservation, creating immersive experiences that engage local communities, amplify the efforts of synergistic groups, generate measurable impact, and ignite global action.”
Targeting an international audience with a predominantly millennial focus, one of Oceanic’s recent major community events in Ibiza was a major influence in Ibiza’s government passing policy to go single use plastic free by 2020. Funds raised through this OCEANSCAPES Lifestyle Collection will benefit The Oceanic Standard program, focused on removing plastic from the waste cycle and encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable practices.
