• The Saltee Ocean Pledge

    Make waves of change and take the Saltee Ocean Pledge.

  • Life Below Water

    Working towards the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.

  • The Saltee Criteria

    Backed by action. Aligned with global goals.

    Every brand we spotlight is part of a bigger purpose to reduce harm, restore ocean health, and rethink consumption.

  • Sustainability Badges for Businesses

    Businesses aligned with The Saltee Life demonstrate:

    1. Commitment to local and sustainable sourcing

    2. Elimination of single-use plastics

    3. Active participation in ocean recovery through cleanup or funding.

  • Refuse. Reuse. Recyle. Repeat.

    I refuse what I don’t need, refill when I can, reuse what’s available, and recycle where possible because every choice makes waves.

  • Local, Sustainable Dining & Shopping

    I pledge to eat and shop locally, supporting producers, maker, and venues that protect the ocean.

  • Zero Single-Use Plastice

    I pledge to live single-use plastic free, refusing straws, bags, bottles, and packaging I don’t need. I will always dispose of my waste correctly. Not in the ocean. Not in the street.

  • Eco-Friendly Practices

    I pledge to reduce my environmental footprint by choosing to walk, ride a bike, or use transport wherever I can.

  • Untrash the Ocean

    I pledge to pick up rubbish every time I visit the beach or surrounds because small actions avoid ocean pollution and make big waves of change.

  • Give Wildlife Space

    I pledge to observe animals from a distance, and never feed, touch, or disturb them.

  • Respect the Local Neighbourhood

    I pledge to honour the places I visit by being kind, quiet, clean, and considerate.

  • Leave What I Find Behind

    I pledge to take only memories and photos.

  • Plan Ahead & Prepare

    I pledge to research, pack responsibly, and stay informed to ensure my travels are both safe and sustainable.

  • Locally Sourced Living

    Whether it’s eating, drinking, or staying, I pledge to prioritise local products that tread lightly on the earth and respect the ocean.

  • Support Eco & Sustainable Tourism

    I pledge to choose tours, stays, and experiences that protect ecosystems, support local livelihoods, and give back to communities.

  • Conserve Resources

    I pledge to respect the precious resources we share by using only what I need: food, water, power, fuel.
