Nickelodeon, the leading entertainment brand for kids, and Pirates Surf Rescue have recently joined forces once again to celebrate World Oceans Day by immersing the “Pirates” in an exciting deep dive adventure to explore the thriving marine life beneath the pier at Kite Beach, Dubai. Building upon their previous successful partnerships on World Water Day and Earth Day, Nickelodeon and Pirates Surf Rescue continue to educate and engage children in sustainable practices for environmental protection.

World Oceans Day is an annual event on June 8th, aiming to increase awareness about the importance of our global oceans and the need for conservation efforts. This year’s theme, “Planet Ocean: tides are changing,” serves as an inspiration for various communities, including enthusiastic youth activists, to prioritise the well-being of our oceans. Embracing this theme, Nickelodeon Arabia and Pirates Surf Rescue collaborated to organise an engaging and educational event, offering a unique opportunity for participants to dive deep into the beach environment, discover diverse marine life, and learn valuable lessons about preserving our precious oceans.

Approximately 200 kids from the Pirates Surf Rescue community gathered at Kite Beach, Dubai, for a workshop led by Marine Biologist Ayesha Bobat, aimed at raising environmental awareness and shedding light on the vital role of the ocean in maintaining the health and balance of marine ecosystems. This hands-on experience allowed the young participants to witness the beauty and importance of marine life firsthand, fostering a deeper understanding of the need to protect and preserve our oceans.

Tracey Grant, Country Manager & Vice President – MENA at Paramount, said, “Through our partnership with Pirates Surf Rescue, we have the pleasure of respecting the planet whilst celebrating the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and sub-theme ‘Today for Tomorrow.’ Pirates empower young individuals to contribute to environmental sustainability, aligning perfectly with our ESG strategy, and this collaboration is a powerful demonstration of our commitment. Furthermore, it reflects Paramount’s mission to raise awareness about our world, inspire others, and empower our fans to become the leaders of tomorrow.”

The event also hosted Nathaniel Alapide, a Filipino artist who creates sand art murals on the shorelines of Dubai, to creatively draw down the partnership logo between Nickelodeon and Pirate Surf Rescue.

Paramount is dedicated to minimising its environmental impact and using its platform to inspire others to take similar action. Its partnership with Pirates Surf Rescue is a testament to the company’s commitment to educating future generations and promoting environmental awareness.
