Parley collaborates with a network of scientists, experts and innovators to advance and advocate for a deeper understanding of marine life, ecosystems, the spread of plastic pollution and its impact on oceans and human health. Our research subjects span whale snot to high-fashion textiles. With the help of our partners, we garner support for the protection and restoration of sea forests, boost eco-innovation in non-invasive marine mammal research, and collect data to inform stronger material standards alongside the development of new materials that can replace current plastics and work in harmony with nature.
Together with our global expert network, we’re operating an extensive research and development program to invent and scale alternatives, support innovators, and to establish new industry standards that drive the Material Revolution.
Forests of the Sea unites researchers, conservationists, creators and communities to help research, protect and preserve global kelp forests for future generations.
