Islands are home to unique plant and animal species–and if they disappear from an island, they are lost to the entire world forever. With Seacology’s unique win-win strategy, we work directly with island communities, responding to their needs and supporting their efforts at conservation.

Blue Marine is working to press for the creation of effective marine protected areas all over the world.
So far, we have contributed to the protection of over 4.5m square kilometres of ocean.
We at Blue Marine are devoting everything we have to achieving our mission to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.
To stop draining the ocean of life through destructive and wasteful overfishing, we need to protect at least 30% of the ocean and ensure that the whole ocean is sustainably managed.
When the ocean is effectively protected, life bounces back.
This is good for biodiversity, good for the climate, for communities, and for those who depend on fishing for their livelihoods.
