The world is full of beautifully unique places, systems and beings, however many of them will soon be gone forever.
Massive coral bleaching all around the Great Barrier Reef, Japanese dolphins are being brutally slaughtered as we speak. The Solomon islands are being taken over and ruined for logging. Caribbean reefs are being altered by man-introduced fish that have already dropped certain reef fish populations by 90%! and of course the countless islands and countries such as the Tuvalu, Kiribati, Barbados, Philippines, Bangladesh, Egypt, Maldives and so many more homes to millions of people will soon be under water.
We believe in the human race. Throughout our existence we have been able to repeatedly prove our ability to get things done and move forward. We also believe that we should not stop growing, not stop building and not stop creating because it is this innovation that has brought us so far, that has brought many of us healthy enjoyable lifestyles, however if we wish to continue on this great journey and share it with others then we have to be more efficient and we need to live smart.
It may not be one trick that fixes our climate and balances out our globe, but there are enough small things we can do to make a huge impact together.
This is one of our plans, and hopefully you can help:

To do our part in keeping our planet clean and sustainable we have created the SEAVAL Shades, made sturdy out of the most sustainable material to grow from our soil today, bamboo. The sunglasses come with top quality polarized lenses, great sense of style and comfort and to support extreme athletes and hands-on activists we made them durable, waterproof and they float!
Yes our sunglasses have more sustainable processes and materials than other brands, but that's not all we're doing to help. We have partnered with some of the best organizations and certainly our favorite, who have dedicated themselves to bettering our planet and solving global issues.
With each purchase of SEAVAL Shades you can help us donate to them at no additional charge. See the info below and help us help them help us all.

Although a beautiful creature, the lionfish has been a major threat to the many waters and reefs it has recently invaded. Due to an aquarium release in Florida the lionfish found itself in a surrounding with no natural predators and everything to eat. This allowed the Pterois volitans to roam freely and spread out in massive numbers across the Caribbean, Southern United States, Central America and parts of South America in no time.
The lionfish can lay over 30,000 eggs every 4 days, is protected by long venomous spines, eats over 3 times its body weight daily, have dropped certain reef fish populations by over 90% already and are responsible for immense amounts of coral damage!
Lionfish Elimination Team is the leading reaction organization dedicated to safely and efficiently removing lionfish from the invaded waters. This is done by organizing and training divers/hunters, collecting and sharing data with specialists, collaborating with governments in order to allow and push forward lionfish hunting programs and of course getting down and dirty on the reef and removing lionfish themselves.
