About us
Who Are We!
Our Projects
Ocean Cleanup Project
The Ocean Cleanup Project is a hands-on initiative focused on reducing marine pollution, particularly plastic waste, which poses a major threat to marine ecosystems.
Free Oceans from Medical Waste
Our Free Oceans from Medical Waste initiative targets a critical but often overlooked form of ocean pollution—medical waste. This project works to remove hazardous materials such as syringes, gloves, masks, and other medical debris that can harm marine life and contaminate the ocean.
Life Guarding Project
The Life Guarding Project is dedicated to ensuring the safety of both local communities and visitors who rely on Tanzania’s beaches for recreation and livelihood. This project involves training and deploying skilled lifeguards who monitor beaches and provide immediate assistance in case of emergencies.
Mangrove Restoration Project
Mangroves are crucial for maintaining coastal ecosystems, acting as natural barriers against storms and erosion, while also providing a habitat for diverse species. Our Mangrove Restoration Project focuses on rehabilitating and preserving mangrove forests along Tanzania’s coastline.
Why Us
Programs & Projects Summary
Ocean Guardians Initiative
The Ocean Guardians Initiative educates and empowers young leaders to take action in marine conservation. Through environmental education, leadership training, and hands-on activities like beach cleanups and advocacy campaigns, youth become ocean ambassadors. The program also encourages young people to participate in policy discussions, ensuring their voices contribute to sustainable ocean management.
Coral Reef Restoration Project
This project focuses on rehabilitating damaged coral reefs through artificial reef structures and coral nurseries. Local fishermen and divers receive training in reef conservation, and scientific monitoring helps guide restoration efforts. By promoting eco-friendly tourism and sustainable diving practices, the project not only protects marine biodiversity but also creates alternative income sources for coastal communities.
Mangrove Reforestation Program
Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting coastlines and supporting marine biodiversity. This program focuses on replanting and restoring mangrove forests to prevent coastal erosion and improve carbon storage. Local communities are actively involved in conservation efforts, ensuring long-term protection of these vital ecosystems while enhancing fish nursery habitats and sustainable resource use.
