Together We Can Turn Tides

‘Together We Can Turn Tides’ is an emotive animation that represents themes within a book of the same name, that was published as a manifesto for change – to save the planet’s oceans and subsequently ourselves.

The author Jeroen van de Waal is a marine conservationist and the founder of a diving school in Singapore. The school's responsibilities also extend to educating the next generation about the consequences of our actions on the Earth’s oceans and ecosystems, encouraging a movement of sustainability, protection, conservation and change so we can leave positive footprints for future generations.

To promote awareness about the state of humankind's treatment of our planet, Drive Creative Studio produced a series of graphic illustrations to represent the chapters within the manifesto and also produced this emotive and powerful animated video to explain the core themes– such as ocean pollution, marine habitat destruction, and mammal eradication – with the hope of highlighting the urgent need for change.
