SPREAD: OCEAN
Save the Ocean
As a former resident of Indonesia, I have had the opportunity to experience the country's breathtaking oceans firsthand. However, I couldn't help but notice the pressing issue of ocean pollution that often goes unrecognized. My interest in ocean conservation grew as I became more aware of the problem, and I am now committed to raising awareness and finding solutions. In the near future, I plan to write a research paper on this issue to further explore the extent of ocean pollution in Indonesia and contribute to the ongoing efforts to address it.

Spread: Ocean is a community service program aimed at conserving oceans and the marine life in Indonesia. The program focuses on cleaning ocean habitats, beaches, and removing plastic debris to reduce pollution and promote a healthy marine ecosystem.
This initiative was born out of a passion for conserving the ocean and the realization that Indonesia is facing significant challenges in terms of ocean pollution. The Spread: Ocean program brings together individuals who are passionate about marine conservation and provides them with the opportunity to make a difference in their local communities.
By participating in SpreadOcean, individuals can contribute to conserving the oceans and preserving the marine life in Indonesia. This program not only benefits the local community but also promotes a sustainable future for the planet as a whole.
