Where the Funds Go
All proceeds from the Art for Oceans Surfboard Auction will fund Living Ocean’s marine conservation programs, including the expansion of our flagship whale research project. Contributions will directly support investment in a research vessel, acoustic monitoring equipment, and new tools to better understand whale behaviour, migration, and the impacts of climate change.
