New Zealand SailGP Charity Partnership
Live Ocean is the Charity Partner for the Black Foils New Zealand SailGP Team. What this means is they provide support to us both financially through their Impact League winnings, which have gone directly towards projects we support like Blue Carbon Research, Marine Metre2 and Kelp Restoration. They also help us bring issues the ocean is facing into the global spotlight using the powerful platform sport provides, and an incredible amount of brand awareness not usually available to a young NGO.
