Mission 2020

A dive community project to help the ocean

We love the ocean, and we want to do what we can to protect it for the
future. Divers see the damage that human activity is having on the ocean
environment more clearly than anyone else and we have realised that it is
time for us to make changes to prevent further damage.

Mission 2020 is a collection of pledges from organisations within the diving
community to change their business practices in order to help protect and
preserve our oceans for the future.

With a primary focus on single-use plastic, the project sets ambitious
short term targets of changes to be made before World Oceans Day 2020.

Mission 2020 was originally conceived by fourth element as a statement
of its intentions to eliminate the use of single-use plastic in the
packaging of all its products by 2020 and to continue to develop
new products (and re-develop its existing products) using recycled
materials wherever possible. By inviting other organisations within
the dive community to join Mission 2020 and encouraging them to
make their own commitments, fourth element hopes to make this a
commitment of the global dive community to protect the very thing
which we enjoy – the ocean.
