Our mission
Our mission is to protect, educate and explore the underwater world. We want to bring travelers, local communities, biologists, researchers, and environmental enthusiasts together to support each other and spread information. We focus on the issues in the marine ecosystem which are still not being properly addressed. Our vision is to replace shark fishing for shark tourism. We will invest your donations and the main part of our profits to put Blue Religion tourist boats out at sea with a full shark fisherman crew.

About Founder
Lucia Baranová
Founder of Blue Religion
Lucia is a passionate underwater photographer, conservationist and ocean enthusiast with a weakness for sharks and pretty much anything bigger than her cruising through the big blue.
