“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
empowering oceans,
empowering futures
At Ocean Pledge, we’re committed to harnessing possibilities and seizing opportunities to build a better future. We firmly believe that education is the key to making a lasting impact, not only on the health of our oceans but also on the livelihoods that depend on them.
education for change
Unfortunately, there’s a significant gap in awareness within our educational systems regarding the critical importance of healthy oceans. That’s why we’re dedicated to inspiring pathways toward marine conservation and cultivating a new generation of ocean ambassadors.
YOUTH PROGRAMMES
#futureoceangaurdians
The Ocean Pledge Youth Ambassadors program is dedicated to nurturing and empowering young leaders with the knowledge and skills to become advocates for positive change. Our goal is to build a network of youth who are passionate about protecting our oceans and equipped to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
Through a comprehensive curriculum and hands-on experiences, we empower youth to become change-makers and ambassadors for ocean conservation. Led by renowned communication expert Verity Price, our program teaches essential skills such as public speaking, communication, and critical thinking, empowering students to articulate their ideas and drive meaningful change.

Inspiring Conservation
Our program exposes students to real-life scenarios, fragile ecosystems, and innovative organizations working to protect marine environments. From field trips to marine research centers to snorkeling adventures, students gain firsthand experience and insight into the challenges and opportunities facing our oceans.
Taking Action
Upon graduation, students are encouraged to apply their newfound skills and knowledge by designing and implementing community-based projects. This hands-on experience allows students to put their leadership skills into practice while making a tangible impact in their communities. Ambitious students may also join our ambassador network, where they receive ongoing mentoring and support to continue their advocacy efforts and inspire others to join the cause.
CORPORATE PROGRAMMES
The Power to Disrupt
Sustainability is at the forefront of global issues. Businesses and investors are increasingly concerned about the impact of their activities and how they can effect change by adopting a culture of corporate sustainability.
Regardless of the size of your company or group, we offer various tailored made corporate engagement programmes to help educate, inspire, disrupt the status quo and bring about change on various levels. From inspirational key–note talk by Ted-Ex speaker; to engaging corporate team-building events; or lateral thinking bio-mimicry inspired workshops based on theories on Systems Change, we aim to inspire organisations to tap into their creativity by rethinking their relationship not only to plastic, but to outdated models of engagement that no longer have a place in a modern and agile world.
Verity Price
Ted-X speaker, Ocean pledge Ambassador, corporate strategist and change agent www.tapresults.co.za
Born out of a TEDx talk, this keynote speaker and songwriter is helping organisations to rethink their relationship to single use plastic and empower staff to collaborate and find creative solutions for reducing plastic in head offices and in business offerings. As a lateral thinking expert with a passion for making positive changes in businesses, Verity explores the opportunity for innovation and creativity that this crisis is presenting, and how we can disrupt our ways of doing things in order to give our future a chance.
Events
Ocean Pledge recognises that events and festivals create enormous amounts of waste.
It is devastating to see plastic and other waste generated by events blowing into our pristine natural environments. Ultimately, ending up in our oceans.
We collaborate with event organisers to co-create #blueocean events/festivals/conferences which eliminate the use/dependency on single-use plastic, reduce waste to landfill, and create environmental awareness.
If you would like to Ocean Pledge your event please contact us. We would really love to hear from you
