The Hub is thrilled to see the DEEP Fund project Our Ocean Our Identity bringing women and youth together in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea to share knowledge of the ocean and strategies for its protection.
Here is the team in Port Vila, Vanuatu.

Solomon Airlines, Our Telekom, Soltuna and Dive Munda have joined forces on 8 June, to clean up ocean debris in the Western Province on 2021 ‘World Oceans Day’.
The four Solomon Islands companies and local Solomon Islands youths joined the global campaign via a beach and underwater clean up in the ocean around Munda.
On 8 June, three boats with Our Telekom team members, Solomon Islands youths sponsored by Soltuna, plus staff from Dive Munda and Solomon Airlines, undertook ocean and beach cleanup efforts at popular spots including Nusalavata, Kundukundu Nomana and Hite, ensuring the entire activity was single-use plastic free.
The activity has been launched recently under the 2nd phase of Dive Munda’s continuing Youth Sponsorship Initiative due to commence officially on 1 July 2021.
To help continue Dive Training and Ocean Preservation education for Solomon Islands Youth, sponsors can donate to the programme through emailing Dive Munda on dive@divemunda.com or through an online Click n Donate campaign: https://clickndonate.com/empower-solomon-islands-youth-goal-20-000/
