People and Leadership

The heart of any non-profit association run by volunteers is its active members - those who fulfil the statutory purpose by bringing it to life. This is no different at ElasmOcean. A diverse group of dedicated marine conservationists who advocate for the association in their spare time, sometimes outdoors, sometimes indoors, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes in front of an audience, and sometimes completely alone. But always: for ocean protection through knowledge.
