Our Story
We believe in a plastic-free ocean
Breathe Conservation inspires and encourages all people to walk as if they are kissing the earth with their feet.
Wise words of Thich Nhat Hanh, this powerful mantra unpacks our message to live deeply and tread lightly.
We aspire to be pioneers in the industry by aiming high and eliminating rather than reducing plastic pollution in the ocean, and the world around us. We’re focused on tackling culprits like straws, coffee cups, plastic bags and sucker sticks and promote responsiveness when it comes to addressing such a big, overwhelming task.
The idea is to respond in the moment, where you can, to stop plastic pollution – no matter how small the effort may seem.

Guest speaker at the Wakefields Awards Breakfast.
Talk about an inspirational day! We had the pleasure of hearing Sarah Ferguson speak to us at our Wakefields awards breakfast about her fight against marine pollution. Putting her talent and strength to the ultimate test to save our planet from…well, us! Swimming in the ocean for over 20 hours straight, no assistance, no rest with one goal, to educate the rest of us idiots about how we are destroying our home. Machine. – richwaltersrealty

“Sarah, the passion you have for the ocean really shines through, I still have that image of you swimming a few weeks ago during the sardine run with all the plastic. We see it all the time (the pollution both in life and on social media) but often the images of the sardine run don’t show the pollution. Its like when someone travels to “paradise” and don’t share the bug bites, or the pollution.”
-Shani Judes – Wavescape Festival Director
