The Problem We Solve
Ocean conservation spans the entire planet—from the Arctic to the Antarctic, across thousands of islands, coastlines, and research vessels. Despite facing many of the same critical challenges, those working to protect our oceans—scientists, conservationists, policymakers, businesses, and local communities—are often geographically, culturally, and linguistically isolated.
- Research teams operate in silos, with their findings often inaccessible to the broader conservation community.
- Grassroots conservationists lack platforms to amplify their work or access critical resources.
- In many regions, science is underfunded, censored, or deprioritized, leaving communities uninformed about their own ecosystems.
For decades, these barriers made it impossible for people to collaborate, learn from each other, and understand the full scale of the crisis—until SEVENSEAS came along.
Who We Are & What We Do
SEVENSEAS is the global knowledge hub for ocean conservation.
We elevate, connect, and promote conservation efforts across ocean conservation, climate resilience, and biodiversity protection through publications, outreach, and direct-action work.
What makes SEVENSEAS unique is that we are an organization by the community, for the community. We act as a two-way street, where those on remote islands, research vessels, and coastal communities can share their knowledge, ensuring that solutions, best practices, and urgent conservation stories reach the people who need them most.
Global Reach & Impact
- SEVENSEAS Media reaches tens of thousands worldwide every month, fostering a global community committed to safeguarding our oceans for future generations.
- We advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 14: Life Below Water, and the 30×30 initiative, which seeks to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030.
- Our mission ensures that ocean conservation news, professional development resources, and career and educational opportunities remain free and accessible to all, aligning with SDG 4: Quality Education to make critical knowledge available regardless of economic background.

On-the-Ground Conservation Efforts
Coral Reef Restoration
- Active restoration through coral propogation in Had Nopparatthara National Park (Phi Phi National Park), Thailand.
- 350+ coral fragments propagated in collaboration with local partners.
Seagrass Bed & Mangrove Restoration
- Critical habitats restored, supporting local fishing communities, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
- Seagrass meadows serve as vital ecosystems for dugongs, sea turtles, and other marine life.
Beach Cleanups & Coral Reef 9-1-1
- Monthly cleanups removing 300-500 kg of waste per event.
- Coral Reef 9-1-1 response team removes ghost nets and immediate threats to marine ecosystems.
Education & Global Networking
- SEVENSEAS hosts networking events globally.
- We connect professionals, students, and local communities through conferences, workshops, and outreach programs.
- Our special projects include translations of scientific research, awareness campaigns, and an educational children’s video series on marine conservation.
Urgent Funding Need
Due to emergency unforeseen financial circumstances, we are facing a $250,000 shortfall for our 2025 budget. These funds are critical to sustaining our impact and ensuring that conservation professionals, researchers, and grassroots advocates continue to have the resources they need to protect our oceans.
Any amount above $250,000 is immediately scalable, allowing us to expand our ecosystem restoration efforts, education programs, and outreach.
