For the last decade, SEVENSEAS Media has been an indispensable force in ocean conservation, serving as a hub for knowledge, networking, and direct action. It is more than a publication- it is a community-driven platform that connects conservation professionals, students, policymakers, and ocean advocates across the globe.

Through its commitment to education, storytelling, and professional development, SEVENSEAS has helped tens of thousands of individuals launch and grow their careers in marine conservation. It has played a vital role in amplifying voices, elevating diverse perspectives, and ensuring that critical environmental issues reach those who have the power to make a difference.

SEVENSEAS Media operates on an extraordinarily modest budget, yet its reach and influence far surpass those of organizations many times its size. It has facilitated countless job placements, fostered collaborations between conservationists worldwide, and provided free, accessible resources that empower individuals and institutions to take meaningful action for our ocean.

Today, SEVENSEAS is at a crossroads. Despite its undeniable impact, securing the funding necessary to sustain this work has been a challenge. We cannot allow such an essential tool for the ocean conservation community to disappear due to lack of financial support.

We, the undersigned, recognize the profound value of SEVENSEAS Media and call upon foundations, organizations, and individuals who believe in the power of media, education, and global connectivity to step forward. This is a rare opportunity to support an organization that directly strengthens the entire conservation field. Without SEVENSEAS, we risk losing an essential platform that transforms knowledge into action, provides opportunities for emerging leaders, and unites the voices of those working to protect our planet’s blue heart.

We urge you to consider investing in SEVENSEAS Media. Your support will ensure that this critical resource not only survives but continues to thrive, fostering collaboration, innovation, and tangible conservation impact worldwide. While SEVENSEAS Media may not always fit neatly into traditional funding categories, its work underpins and enables conservation success at every level. If funders believe the mission still falls outside their focus, we invite them to start the conversation on how SEVENSEAS can help achieve their strategic goals. Conservation does not happen in silos- SEVENSEAS is the bridge that connects knowledge, action, and impact.

Signed,
