Live Ocean
Live Ocean (www.liveocean.com [1]) is a New Zealand registered ocean conservation charity founded by Olympic gold and silver medallists Peter Burling and Blair Tuke.
Live Ocean was founded by Tuke and Burling out of their belief that New Zealand needs to step up to the challenge to protect and restore the oceans. Live Ocean's vision is for New Zealand to be a world leading champion in ocean health. The mission is to amplify and accelerate positive ocean action in New Zealand.[1]
Live Ocean partners with promising people and projects with a focus on marine science, innovation and positive action.[2]
In order to drive positive change, Live Ocean relies on the generosity and support of fellow ocean lovers. Donations can be made via the Live Ocean website, and 100% of donations go towards supporting critical initiatives that focus on accelerating ocean action in New Zealand.
Live Ocean's initial project is the race to save the endangered Antipodean Albatross[3][4][5][6]
