OUR TEAM
We imagine a world where everybody has a role in protecting our oceans. We are driven by our passion for the sea and our instinct for innovation. We work to inspire coastal communities to take up their role in conserving the ocean.
Whether designing programs or training community members, we are united by the same mission: inspire, create, connect and catalyse co-management initiatives in Kenya.

‘Governing our oceans is a collective responsibility which must include the voices of those who live and work alongside the sea.’
