Together We Can Turn Tides - A manifesto to change the oceans, planet and ourselves.

‘Together We Can Turn Tides’ is an award winning 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 Orca Scuba, a diving school located in Singapore.

Orca Scuba'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 produced a series of simple graphic illustrations to represent the chapters within the manifesto and also produced this emotive and powerful animated video to explain some of the core themes– such as ocean pollution, marine habitat destruction, and mammal eradication.

The book was launched at S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore at Resort World Sentosa.

Winner of The Drum Cream Awards 2017 silver in the Moving Image category.
