Leading photographer Hettich – prominent ambassador for Planctons eyewear

We are extremely fortunate to have David Hettich supporting our project. His voice lends additional weight to our commitment: “It not only affects large fish, sea birds and turtles, but above all the microorganisms that are responsible for oceanic respiration. These absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into carbon, which is returned to the ground. If the ocean becomes unbalanced, we humans will also have little chance of survival. It may sound banal, but it’s true: we can only protect what we know. And with this in mind I aim to make the general public aware of the unique treasures of the world’s oceans and support projects like Planctons.” More at abenteuer-ozean.de
