People and Leadership

The heart of any volunteer-run association is its active members - those who fulfil the statutory purpose by living it. ElasmOcean is no different. A diverse group of dedicated marine conservationists who stand up for the association in their free time, sometimes outdoors, sometimes indoors, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes in front of an audience, and sometimes all alone. But always: for ocean protection through knowledge.

Transparency

ElasmOcean is part of the Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft (ITZ), which aims to strengthen transparency among non-profit organisations. We are thereby voluntarily committing ourselves to providing a greater amount of information about our organisation and, in particular, the utilisation of donations and funds. This goes significantly beyond the statutory publication requirements for non-profit organisations in Germany.
