“Part III, line 1. The mission is twofold: First, to monitor penguin populations on the frontlines of climate change in the Antarctic Peninsula. There, it has warmed faster than almost anywhere else and the gentoo penguin population has soared while Adelie and chinstrap populations have dramatically plunged. Secondly, from this flows our effort, using the lens of penguins, to create a new movement with a more positive and impactful climate change narrative about whether we will be winners who will adapt when the warming comes our way. Oceanites values are grounded in the belief that all of us, working together, can bring about positive change, and that too many people are disengaged from the reality that we are essentially no different than penguins. We breathe the same air and have the same necessities of life. We, too, are biological creatures who cannot sustain ourselves without food to eat, safe homes, a disease-free and healthy environment, and retaining the ability to produce kids and grandkids.”
