The Seiko Watch Corporation has partnered with the PADI AWARE Foundation to support global ocean protection.
As an official partner of the PADI AWARE Foundation’s Marine Debris Program, Seiko will join in the fight to rid the ocean of marine debris, which is a key element of PADI’s “Blueprint for Ocean Action.”
Seiko’s support will help fund the PADI AWARE Community Grant Program launching this year to provide financial resources to enable local ocean-protection initiatives hosted by PADI Dive Centers and Resorts. Seiko’s contributions will further marine debris campaign implementation in key countries that promote conservation measures at the local, national and international level. Additionally, Seiko will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the Prospex Save the Ocean watch collection.
According to Drew Richardson, President and CEO of PADI Worldwide and PADI AWARE Foundation Chairman of the Board:
“We applaud the Seiko group’s support and willingness to partner with the PADI AWARE Foundation in making a financial commitment to this important effort to clean and protect the ocean. It will take all of us working together on a unified front to make the sea change required to restore ocean health and create balance between humanity and the ocean for generations to come.”
