Seacology

Through a win-win model, Seacology works closely with island communities to protect some of the most threatened natural habitats in the world. Seacology offers local islanders a unique deal: If the village agrees to create or support a forest or marine reserve, Seacology will fund a key community need, like a school, community center, water system, clinic, sustainable livelihoods training, etc. Since 1991, Seacology has helped protect 1.6 million acres of marine and terrestrial habitat, while helping island communities meet critical needs. Our impact spans the globe, with over 400 projects in 73 countries. By partnering directly with indigenous communities and women-led collectives, we ensure a local sense of ownership, culturally-appropriate objectives, and long-term sustainability.
