OUR MISSION
01 MISSION
Our mission is to protect the underwater world, educate people of all generations and explore the treasures the ocean hides in its depths. Our conservation activities are a top priority for us. We believe that our generation is the generation that has all the knowledge in our hands to make a difference. We want to bring travelers, children, local communities, biologists, researchers, and environmental enthusiasts together to help improve life in harmony with the planet we all live on, and protect its beauty and diversity for generations to come.
02 VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers are a huge part of our organization and we appreciate each one of them. We want to unite like-minded people to cooperate on different issues threatening the health of our oceans. Our volunteers focus on three main pillars of our conservation activities: our education program, pollution crisis and shark conservation. We welcome every person who wants to be a part of our organization.
03 LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Our goal is to give back to the local communities. We believe that education and new income opportunities are key to preserving our oceans by motivating the local communities to maintain the shark and wildlife populations. Education for the local children and sustainable tourism brings more financial opportunities for the local communities. By involving the next generation in conservation efforts, we are helping to create opportunities that extend beyond traditional fishing, ensuring a sustainable future for the entire community. We organize events for education about the importance of the ocean environment, beach-clean ups to raise awareness about the issues such as pollution and we participate in local school education programs .
04 SHARK CONSERVATION
Sharks, as apex predators, are essential for the well-being of marine ecosystems. The alarming decline in shark populations, estimated at 70% in the last 50 years, has set off a complex web of cascading effects throughout marine ecosystems. Our work focuses on crucial habitats for sharks and their reproduction in Nayarit, Mexico. This key mangrove ecosystem overlaps with areas of traditional fishing. With research, communication and cooperation with the local communities, we work on proving the importance of this area and providing new opportunities for the local people in sustainable activites.
05 EDUCATION
We believe that the future of our oceans depends on education. Big part of our conservation projects focus on education available to people of different generations. With the help of our education volunteers, we run local education programs for children. We are trying to get kids closer to the ocean, help them build a positive relationship with it and understand the importance of it’s wealth. We are cooperating with local universities and their social programs to gather young like-minded people to help us in spreading our message.
06 POLLUTION
Every single day around 8 million pieces of plastic find their way into the ocean. We organise beach and land clean-ups to help remove some of the garbage and prevent it from entering the ocean. Our events take place around the world. Our events cover several goals of our organisation: cleaning some of the most beautiful places on Earth from garbage, spreading the information about the importance of recycling and waste reduction and making new connections and friendships in between people who care about the future of our planet.
Our mission is to be active, work hard every single day for a better future for us and our ocean.
