Nordic Ocean Watch

We believe that action creates awareness. Even though the most important solutions should target the root causes of the problem, we still have to deal with the symptoms - and collect all the plastic that has already made its way into nature. Beach cleanups are our most important service, which encourages community-building and reconnects people to their natural environment. As with all other environmental challenges, the key to change is ultimately about providing people with a positive experience of contributing. This way, we facilitate for surfers and the ocean folk to become everyday heroes - whenever they want, wherever they are. TAVAHA is our collective “transformation word”, an understanding that we cannot use the ocean without also contributing to its protection. Tavaha comes from the Norwegian words “Ta vare på havet”, meaning take care of the ocean. Tavaha encompasses unity, understanding and solidarity across borders, generations and cultures. The ocean has always taken care of us - lets return the favor.
