FOR CLEAN WATERS, PEACE,
FRIENDSHIP AND HOPE

Healthy oceans are essential for our humanity. . They are the climate regulators, a source of global food supply and human health, as well as a driving force for economic growth. In addition, the oceans are characterized by rich but unsustainable and largely unexplored biodiversity, which provides numerous vital ecosystem services.
Amongst other things, our oceans produce half of the entire oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere and absorb about 25% of the carbon dioxide emissions.

Global waters are already under severe threat. Considering the current growth of the world's population (which is expected to reach between 9 and 10 billion by 2050) they are expected to be under increasing pressure. . Every individual should be aware of their own responsibilities and consequences of actions, whether good or bad.

Swimming for peace - the absence of wars, aggression and fear, as well as for peace in the larger meaning: serenity, harmony and inner contentment.

Many things can make us happy, but the proof shows that quality relationships are the most essential for happiness. Like Mr. Woodrow Wilson has said: “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”

Hope ... perhaps the most important thing in our life. As long as we hope, we also persevere and pick ourselves up again and again. While looking for different ways, we push our boundaries forward.
Sometimes hope is all we have at the moment, but that’s enough ..., to be able to do so!
With his achievements Martin always raises awareness of ongoing environmental pollution issues and global warming, which helps protect our nature and waters.

His action calls always raise plenty of funds dedicated to protect, clean and rehabilitate certain areas.

He communicates directly with animals in his own way and makes even dangerous ones his own allies. He may also divert their attention in order to survive himself without having to kill any animal.

The energies attached to our planet are beneficial to us as long as we help each other.
The Earth needs someone to connect the entire world with a good cause and make a foundation that we will pass on to future generations.
Hearty, dedicated, kind, brave, wise, daring, fun, charismatic and at the same time a people person. Nature has long taken Martin Strel for granted…as if she knew that he would be her voice for help.
He always goes to the finish and never gives up halfway

…for clean waters, peace, friendship and hope Such projects should impact all the people; however, they are usually joined only by those who are aware of their influence and understand the higher purpose and deeper meaning of their existence. We are looking for investors, sponsors, ambassadors, influencers, foundations and all individuals who are able to contribute to the project’s success.
