Half of the world's population lives along seashores. The coastal regions are overexploited and further weakened by climate change. Coral reefs are dying, the marine fauna is impoverished, and local communitiess are struggling to survive.

marinecultures.org initiates small-scale conservation projects: We support people on the coast of Zanzibar in the development of ecological aquaculture. Together with local communities and authorities we carry out activities to protect and restore marine ecosystems.

Our projects are developed in collaboration with experts. They are financed by donations and foundations. And on the coast of Zanzibar they secure a sustainable livelihood for a growing number of families.

Our Activities:

Growing sponges
Sponge farms provide the communities on the east coast of Zanzibar with a better income. Natural sponges are a popular product and a profitable business for women farmers.

Protecting and restoring coral reefs
With our coral farm in the lagoon of Jambiani we reforest damaged reefs and draw attention to the importance of endangered coral reefs. The corals are essential for the marine food chain.

Conserving fish stocks
Thanks to the protected areas that we are establishing in the lagoon with fishermen and local authorities, fish stocks can recover, thus enabling sustainable fishing in coastal waters.
