Help Us Save Our Beautiful Ocean
For All of Us
In Costa Rica, we have one of the highest biodiversities both on the land and in the water.
Our oceans are important to our way of life and protecting them is our duty.

Every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you are connected to the sea.
What we do….Marine Conservation Costa Rica
Coral Restoration
Our flagship project is coral reef restoration in Manuel Antonio. With the establishment of various coral nursery sites throughout the park we are working hard to give our reefs a chance.
Marine Education
Education is key to any conservation effort. By helping people understand why things are happening around and what they can do to make things better, it is our greatest weapon.
Reef Health
As well as our restoration project we are closely monitoring our local, living reefs. This involves a number of surveys around Manuel Antonio looking at reef inhabitants and structure.
Training Grants
Sponsorships of PADI dive training for Costa Rica’s marine biology university students. Providing more possibilisties for their research and for the conservation of Costa Rica’s coastal ecosystem.
We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
If you walk along the beach and look out at our beautiful ocean it can be hard to imagine the amazing diversity that lies below the rippling surface. The oceans contain an estimated 2.2 million species, many of which are under threat.
By working together with our local community we are striving to make an impact in our oceans here in Costa Rica. We hope that our actions will make a difference to this precious resource for future generations.
