Are you an Ocean Hero? Then join our media campaign!
The German Ocean Foundation is calling on all Ocean Heroes to join our media campaign - we want to highlight the great work being done around the world for our ocean. If you are involved in a project to protect, restore or clean up the ocean or raise awareness for the ocean - either with the support of an organization or on your own - then we would love to hear from you!
All you need to do is record a one to two minute film, preferably in portrait format, ideally in 4k 30 HD, or at least in HD quality and with a neutral background, and send it to us at office@meeresstiftung.de so we can embed it on our social media channels to raise awareness of your project and goals.
