Ocean Independence

Ocean Independence was honoured to be a part of the "Laureus & ICONS - Charity Night" in Palma earlier this month, where we raised EUR 2,000 through the auction of a stunning Christian Awe painting. The funds were donated to Save the Med Foundation, a fantastic organisation working to protect and restore the Mediterranean's marine ecosystems. We’re proud to contribute to their important mission of conservation and education, helping to preserve the beauty of the Balearics for future generations.
