Partners in Action

We're grateful for the businesses that choose to make an impact through their work, contributing a share of their proceeds to ocean conservation.

Foamers' Folly Brewing

10% of every sale helps Ocean Wise protect and restore the ocean.

“The team at Foamers’ Folly believe that sustainability is not just a trend, but a responsibility. The health of our oceans is integral to the future of our planet—and the future of the brewing industry. Water is our primary ingredient, and clean, healthy ecosystems are vital to producing high-quality beer. By partnering with Ocean Wise, we can contribute to preserving the waters that nourish not only our beer but the broader natural world we all depend on. The Ripple Effect series is our way of combining craft beer with a deeper purpose—every sip can help create a positive impact."

Biotherm Canada

$5 from each Aquasource Cream sold from July to October 2025 was donated to the Ocean Wise Seaforestation Initiative.

“Biotherm is a proud supporter of Ocean Wise, an organization that takes meaningful action to protect and restore our ocean. With our help, Ocean Wise is monitoring and protecting whales, fighting climate change and restoring biodiversity, protecting and restoring fish stocks, innovating for a plastic-free ocean, and educating and empowering youth. The partnership supports ocean conservation through seaweed forest restoration."

Kara Yoo Jewellery

15% of the proceeds from each sale from the Ocean Capsule Collection will be donated to Ocean Wise.

“At Kara Yoo Jewellery, we are proud to support Ocean Wise and are dedicated to protecting and restoring our ocean through education, research, and community engagement. "

EcoChit

Ecochit is a 1% for the Planet member and contributes proceeds from its overall sales of its 100% BPA/BPS-free receipt rolls to Seaforestation.

“Land-based forests aren’t the only way to improve our climate resilience. Seaforestation is the act of planting and restoring underwater kelp forests. Purchasing from the EcoChit x Seaforestation receipt paper product line is a simple way for businesses to help Ocean Wise restore, plant and manage our underwater forests.”

1% for the Planet

1% for the Planet inspires members of the business community to contribute 1% of sales to environmental groups around the world. Ocean Wise is one of the beneficiaries. To view the full list of participating businesses, click the link below.

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
