Help Protect Endangered Sea Turtles in Curacao

On the 9th of February Sea Turtle Conservation Curacao finally launches the promised music video "Can you see". The song and video clip are intended to raise awareness about sea turtles and the threats they face as a result of human behavior. One of the goals that Sea Turtle Conservation Curacao has set itself is to reach and make aware the largest possible group of people, because only when everybody comes together we can change the current worrying situation in the ocean.

We need to change our behavior to prevent that in 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

To reach as many people as possible is a big challenge for conservation organizations. This project is a combination of conservation and art to send the message. By using music and visual art, Sea Turtle Conservation Curacao hopes to reach a larger group of people than it already does.

To realize this project, a collaboration was made with various local musicians. The song is written by Gino James and produced by Reuben van Lierop. Both young Curacao musicians. A total of 13 local musicians sang along in the song, namely Gino James, Reuben van Lierop, Shanuska Schoop (Shuga mama), Deborah Gomez, Gidguidemely Gomez, Jeniffer Grant, Sheldon Angelister, Roshane Daley, Yanique Suydon, Eric Jan van Leeuwen and Roxan van Leeuwen. Lucas van Twillert and Kim Russel. Zion has mixed and mastered the song.

The production of the video clip for the song was made partly with financial support from the Prince Bernhard Cultural Fund Caribbean. Fisheye media has produced the video clip and several filmmakers have provided visual material, both locally (Stichfactor, TurtleandRay, Naturepics, BLEND creative imaging, David de Bruijne, Koral, Pedro Amaya &Yuri Kneppers) and internationally (Chris Figgener, Sean Williamson, Hung-Chang Liu). and Celine Gamble).

Many thanks to everybody that helped us realize this project!
