ABOUT US

Think Ocean’s roots lie with a group of environmentalists who in 1992, united several organisations towards a common goal; to stop the whale hunting in the South Pacific, ending with the co-creation of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary in 1995. Founding members continued working on environmental projects globally, including the creation of San Antonio Wildlife Rescue Centre due to “El Nino current” Pacific Ocean emergency and expanded focus in supporting organisations tackling whale hunting, deforestation, wildlife trafficking, conservation and the adoption of CITES treaty of Latin America. One of these founding members, Hugo Valdes-Vera, seeing the impact of pollution, particularly plastic pollution from rivers into the oceans, went on to form Think Ocean in the UK, with the intention of addressing the plastic pollution crisis. He was then joined by Noleen Mariappen and they now form the founding team of Think Ocean CIC.

The Pillars Of Our Work

Technology & Innovation
We develop and leverage cutting-edge technology to stop plastic pollution before it reaches our rivers and oceans. Through advanced tools and solutions, we work to identify, capture, and prevent waste from entering waterways, safeguarding both ecosystems and communities.
Education & Empowerment
We believe that fostering a sustainable future starts with empowerment by providing education that not only highlights environmental issues but also addresses social needs, we nurture the next generation of leaders, conscious citizens and decision-makers to value and care for our planet while supporting their own communities.
Community Upliftment & Collaboration
Protecting the environment requires lifting people up first. We work hand-in-hand with communities, addressing their basic needs so they can be active stewards of their surroundings. Through partnerships and collaboration, we ensure that everyone has a voice and the resources to contribute to meaningful change.
Circular Economy
We champion and support upcycling, recycling, and repurposing what is collected from the environment, creating sustainable solutions that reduce waste and promote resource efficiency. By turning waste into opportunity, we contribute to a system where economic growth and environmental preservation go hand in hand.
Global Cooperation
No one can solve the monumental challenges we face alone. We build alliances and work together across sectors and borders, united by a shared goal. By combining efforts, resources, and expertise, we amplify our impact and drive systemic change for people and the planet. Together, we are stronger.
