Thanks to the support of our long-time collaborators at Ocean Culture Life, the Ocean Born Foundation donated the profits from the Fuvahmulah towel collection to Women in Ocean Science.  This organisation delivers ocean literacy, marine conservation and dive training programmes to women within small island communities. With a focus on capacity building and female empowerment, Women in Ocean Science works in alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender equality) & 14 (Life below water).

This specific project took place within Fuvahmulah Island in the Maldives, home to one of the healthiest tiger shark populations in the world, providing skills and resources to enable women to take an active role in ocean stewardship and facilitating the inception of long-term community-led marine management.
