Save Marine Life

2% of all sales we make online, in our Split flagship store and in our partner stores goes towards marine conservation.
 
Who do we support?
We are very proud and happy to support - through our SAVE MARINE LIFE campaign -  the Blue World Institute of Marine Research and Conservation (BWI), a prestigious Croatian organization that fights to protect the marine environment in the Adriatic Sea, by operating three programmes – research, education, and conservation. Their research focuses mainly on large marine vertebrates (dolphins and sperm whales, sea turtles, sharks and giant devil rays).

How can you contribute?

When you order a bracelet from our online shop or in our flagship store in Split, a percentage of each sale goes as a donation towards the Blue World Institute, so you are directly contributing to the research and conservation of marine life in the Mediterranean Sea. 

We are proud supporters of the "Adopt a dolphin" program of the Blue World Institute by donating dolphin charm bracelets from our CHARMED collection. You will receive one of these bracelets (retail price 24 euros) if you choose the Basic Adoption package (45 Euros) for one of the Adriatic Sea dolphins that BWI is monitoring.

In 2024, until July 23rd, we have donated 180 bracelets, retail value 4320 euros.

For 2022/2023, we have donated 127 bracelets, retail value of 3048 Euros.

 Until 2021, we have donated 14 thousand kuna (aprox 1900 Euros) 

We started this partnership with a special Save Marine Life engraving that could have been ordered, and the proceeds from that engraving were fully donated to the Blue World Institute!

From the beginning of our partnership, our amazing customers ordered Save Marine Life engravings in total value of 11446,4 HRK and we donated to date a total of 14.000 HRK to Blue World Institute. Yes, we added a little extra to the sum we pledged to donate, to show our real support for the work this amazing Croatian research institute based in Velj Losinj island is doing. You can read all about them here. And the announcement of our cooperation is published on their website here.
