Think Ocean is an organisation that allows one to be their own leaders of change. If someone suggests an idea, it is seriously taken into consideration and is often always carried forward into a project. It is amazing to be a part of an organisation with a welcoming and open minded team of passionate individuals. I am truly loving every part of the team!!

ThinkOcean's ability to attract talented, driven individuals from around the world for the purpose of ocean conservation has never ceased to amaze me. This organization has shown me what young people are capable of achieving together when given the chance and a proper platform. For the many years I've been with ThinkOcean, I'll remember most fondly the educational campaigns we led around the world and the hundreds of young students I personally got to speak to with the message of protecting our one blue planet.

I am thrilled to be a member of the global community, ThinkOcean. It's an incredible opportunity to collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a common passion for the ocean. Every moment spent interacting with this community is an absolute joy, and I cherish the activities, connections, and friendships that have come out of it. I hold the hope of meeting some of these remarkable individuals in person someday, where we can connect and mingle face-to-face. I am grateful for the time I have spent with ThinkOcean and eagerly anticipate the future possibilities that lie ahead.

I really appreciate the experiences in ThinkOcean! I used to have thoughts about environmental conservation but I seldomly do practical things. After joining ThinkOcean, I actually make contributions through activities like holding exhibitions, beach cleanup, biodiversity measurement and so on.
