To celebrate the latest chapter of FatFace’s partnership with the Marine Conservation Society and the launch of its new collaborative collection, we hosted a group of ocean-loving influencers at a curated coastal retreat, with one mission in mind: to connect with the sea and spotlight the importance of protecting it.

Hosted by ocean ambassador, diver, and environmental advocate Gio Prince, we brought together a like-minded group of content creators for a unique underwater experience, snorkelling through Cawsands Bay to witness the Marine Conservation Society’s Atlantic Coast Programme in action, including a guided look at the essential work being done to restore and protect the UK’s precious seagrass meadows.

FatFace’s partnership with the Marine Conservation Society supports the Atlantic Coast Programme, an initiative focused on restoring ocean health. Together, they’re working to protect vital habitats and wildlife along the UK’s coastline.

The two-day escape took place at the idyllic Boringdon Hall estate in Devon. Day one began with mindful beach yoga and local wine tasting, followed by exploring the beautiful Mothecombe Beach – followed by a memorable Michelin-starred dining experience at Acleaf, celebrating seasonal, coastal-inspired cuisine.

On day two, guests enjoyed a peaceful morning in the Gaia Spa before diving into the main event: an ocean snorkelling trip guided by Gio Prince, offering a first-hand look at the thriving seagrass beds being nurtured through the Atlantic Coast Programme. Influencers in attendance included Shareefa J, Demelza May, Courtney Mae Briggs, Alice Dearing, Robyn Poppy, and Sophie Hellyer in attendance, and the trip sparked conversation and connection around ocean protection, conscious fashion, and the power of community.

The goal was on driving awareness and educating audiences on the impactful work of FatFace and the Marine Conservation Society – and that’s what we did. Our trip attendees created an impressive 61 pieces of content throughout the trip, sharing content on World Oceans Day which reached a total audience of more than 400,000. Safe to say we made a splash!
