Testimony

“I am very delighted to say that my experience of associating with The Living Ocean & Under The Wave has been very good and I feel it is a privilege too. My appreciation is highly for the excellent work they are conducting out in Marine social and economic issues in Zanzibar, by providing opportunities to the local community such as starting an Environmental Education Program for the local students, trying to discuss with the community about the importance of Marine Conservation which can empower them economically, spreading the word on the importance of the coral reefs and turtle conservation. This is important because Zanzibar is surrounded by the beautiful Indian Ocean. We should protect and treasure this for now and the future generations. The Living Ocean & Under The Wave is doing this by investing in a better future for Zanzibar. I am honored to have an advising roll for the organization and shall try to remain so. My good wishes to The Living Ocean & Under The Wave, “keep up the good work.“

The Ocean: The Blue Heart of the Planet

The ocean is one of Earth’s most vital life-support systems. It regulates our climate, produces over half of the oxygen we breathe, and drives the global water cycle. It also supports the livelihoods of millions of people and businesses.

90% of global trade moves across the ocean (World Economic Forum)
It’s a major source of food and essential minerals like sodium, calcium, and magnesium
It’s home to critical biodiversity that helps stabilize global ecosystems

In other words, the ocean is the Blue Heart of our planet — and it’s under threat.

Why Action Is Urgent

Pollution, overfishing, and climate change are degrading marine ecosystems. Plastic and chemical waste are devastating habitats and wildlife.

Preserving the ocean requires all of us — individuals, companies, and communities — to act together. That’s where The Living Ocean comes in.
