Mission

Seacology searches for win-win situations where both the local island environment is protected and islanders receive some lasting benefit for doing so. We work directly with island villagers to protect critically-threatened biodiversity globally. We implement solutions by asking islanders to identify a communal need Seacology could support, such as an elementary school or fresh water delivery system. In exchange, the village agrees to establish and manage a marine or terrestrial reserve. Our innovative win-win model is inexpensive, maintains indigenous land ownership and improves the entire community.

About

In 2019, Seacology's board of directors approved 18 new projects on islands around the world. Seacology grants go to communities that are working to protect their marine or terrestrial environments and need some kind of community benefit, such as a school or community center. Seacology's 2019 projects funded a variety of community benefits in return for various protections, as described on schedule O.
