Few countries are as synonymous with the ocean and the bounties it gives us than Australia. This expansive swathe of land is one really big island; a country where 87% of the population lives within 50 kilometres of the coastline. It would make sense, then, that Aussie brands like South Australia-based Wakefield Wines would want to do all that they can to protect it.
Making wine in South Australia's Clare Valley for three generations, Wakefield Wines are intimately familiar with how the changing climate affects our land. Working so closely with the environment gives you a unique perspective on how it shifts and how important it is to protect. That's why Wakefield Wines have partnered with Project Seahorse to help safeguard our oceans for the future.
Want to know how healthy an ocean is? Check in on its seahorse population. These quirky creatures are a good way of measuring the quality of an ecosystem. Lots of seahorses means good, healthy water. And yet, around the world, seahorses are under immense pressure. That's where Project Seahorse steps in, with it's mission to help save the seahorses by setting up marine protected areas, reining in negative fishing practices, and regulating wildlife trade.
Wakefield Wines have partnered with the charity to help support its work in oceans across the globe. A seahorse emblem sits proudly in each wine as a symbol of the brands commitment to sustainability, while every sip of the winery's Promised Land wine helps promote healthy oceans with a portion of the profits from each bottle donated to Project Seahorse. What better bottle to crack open on World Ocean day on June 8?
