Parley for the Oceans is the global collaboration network where creators, thinkers and leaders come together to take action to protect our oceans. Our AIR Strategy aims to end marine plastic pollution and other threats to our oceans through three pillars of action: Avoid, Intercept, Redesign. The brand new Parley AIR Station on Oʻahu brings this philosophy to life through hands-on learning sessions, activities and workshops led by Parley and our partner organizations in Hawaiʻi.
