other visual media to raise awareness of the threats the ocean faces , but also of the tireless work being done to protect it . By partnering with Mittermeier and Nicklen , the Perpetual Planet Initiative is continuing its commitment to support inspiring individuals who lead by example in the fight to save our seas .
The Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative supports Mittermeier and Nicklen ’ s vision and values and will allow for their messages to be shared with new audiences while they continue to provide a view of the oceans like no other . In the two films they produced with Rolex ’ s support , the ocean is featured as a place of discovery and exploration that supports all life on earth , including our own . It ’ s an environment that can and must be saved for future generations .
