Several Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Technopark here will take their message against marine pollution and global warming to a new level - underwater.
They are set to participate in the first ever undersea conference of CEOs off Kovalam on April 10, to draw attention to the twin environmental challenges.
At the event, five chosen CEOs will swim off Grove beach in a resort, to descend five or six metres into the Arabian sea, aided by scuba gear.

The CEOs will take a pledge and sign a memorandum to “Protect the Ocean and Marine life,” and also unveil the logo, long-term plan and sustainability itinerary for their ‘Ocean Love’ campaign.
