MARINE CONSERVATION PROGRAM

Our Programs

Marine conservation program

This program offers an incredible opportunity for volunteers to actively contribute to preserving the marine ecosystems that sustain countless species and support human livelihoods. Kenya’s coastline is rich in marine biodiversity but faces threats from overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. By joining this program, volunteers become part of a global effort to protect and restore these fragile environments.

Volunteers will work alongside local communities, researchers, and conservationists to implement sustainable practices, educate stakeholders, and rehabilitate critical marine habitats. This program focuses on raising awareness about the importance of marine ecosystems and fostering a culture of conservation
