🌊 About us
Who are we?
Our organization was founded in 1993 and is a well-established environmental NGO in Norway with headquarters in Bergen, and regional offices in Tromsø, Trondheim, and Oslo. In our work for environmental protection, we do not only focus on marine pollution. Our fields consist of all direct and indirect cases between environmental protection and social welfare, such as climate, ecosystem protection, the marine environment, food security, indigenous rights, politics, building protection, etc. Basically, everything concerning the environment, our climate, and society are all fields we are involved in. Furthermore, as many of the environmental cases we are concerned with have an international reach and character, we extend our work outwards as needed.
Since 2017, we have:
Removed over 385,000 kg of marine litter
Engaged thousands of volunteers
Educated tens of thousands of children and youth
We believe that real environmental protection happens in the field – and that’s exactly what you’ll be part of.
