OUR MISSION:
We recognize the ocean’s vital role in sustaining life and are committed to protecting its health for future generations.
Grounded in sustainability and community engagement, our non-profit works to restore marine ecosystems, preserve biodiversity, and revitalize critical habitats. Through hands-on reef restoration, education, and research, we strengthen the resilience of our oceans and inspire lasting stewardship.
What we do….Marine Conservation Costa Rica
Beneath the surface of our ocean lies extraordinary life—over 2 million species, many now at risk.
Here in Costa Rica, we work hand-in-hand with our local community to protect this vital ecosystem. Through restoration and education, we’re fighting to safeguard our oceans for future generations.
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 possibilities for their research and for the conservation of Costa Rica’s coastal ecosystem.
