Did You Know?

Only 3% of total philanthropic giving goes to environment/animal causes, and only 1% of that goes to the ocean. That means, for every $100 spent in ALL philanthropic giving, $3 goes to the environment, and only 3 pennies go to the ocean. The ocean, our planet’s very own life support system, is in serious danger. Please join us at Ten 4 Ocean to help restore a healthy ocean, protect marine animals, and strengthen humanity’s connection with water – the mother of all life on Earth.
