Love The Oceans is a grassroots marine conservation organisation committed to protecting our planet’s oceans through innovative, community-driven solutions. We believe that healthy marine ecosystems are vital for the well-being of both people and wildlife, and our mission is to create scalable conservation strategies that can be replicated in coastal regions around the world.
By combining cutting-edge science, education, and sustainable practices, we empower coastal communities to take the lead in protecting their marine resources. From monitoring megafauna like sharks and rays to reducing ocean trash and promoting sustainable fishing, our projects are designed to address the unique challenges of ocean conservation while ensuring lasting, positive impacts for the people who rely on these ecosystems.
In partnership with the Oceanographic Institute of Mozambique (INoM), we are working to establish a Marine Protected Area, safeguard biodiversity, and create solutions that can inspire action on a global scale.
Our work has received international recognition. We’ve been named one of 15 global grassroots #ForcesForChange by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, won the Blue Marine Foundation’s Ocean Award, won the 2024 Gender Just Climate Solutions award for our gender equity projects and celebrated the designation of our project area as a Mission Blue Hope Spot.
Through our ethical conservation expeditions, we offer individuals the opportunity to get hands-on with marine research and community work, contributing to real solutions for ocean health. Join us in empowering communities and conserving oceans—because protecting our planet starts with local action and global vision.
