Two years ago I was snorkelling on a small island next to Cebu in the Philippines that is known for its great diverse marine life. And truly, the underwater life was stunning, if only it wasn’t for those piles of garbage that we had to swim in.

Shoes, plastic, foil, clothing, you name it. The grotesque thing is, that this was not the first time this happened to me. A while earlier I had the privilege to surf in Bali. It was monsoon season so the winds had changed and the water current was pushing inwards.

Fishing a wet and soaked diaper out of the water with my bare hands, while paddling for the wave, was one of my least favourite experiences during that holiday.

If you witness such unpleasantries today, Eyesea gives you the chance to actually do something about it. It is easy, straight forward and can be a real game changer.

That is why I have joined the team and that is why the company I am working for ‘Wilhelmsen Ship Management’ is a true supporter of this initiative and of Graeme’s idea.

So, my appeal to you: Download the app and make everyone a winner!
