Fast Company: Only One listed as Fast Co's Top 10 most innovative not-for-profits in 2022.

Ocean conservation can feel overwhelming and abstract to most people, but Only One knew that real change happens when you make complex issues simple and give people clear ways to help. Here's how we built a platform that turns understanding into action.

Making ocean issues accessible

Protecting our oceans is a complex challenge many struggle to understand. Our aim with Only One is to bridge the gap between understanding and action, providing a destination for many to learn about the complex issues we face, as well as take direct action towards healthier seas.

Real change happening

Our long standing partnership with Only One has led to significant positive impact to the ocean and local indigenous communities. The collective work has subsequently led to US policy change and a new found show of support for a global agreement on plastic pollution. The level of change is continually made possible through a platform that empowers individual activism and transparency.
