MARINE CONSERVATION AROUND THE WORLD
This global marine conservation organizations database covers a wide range of groups which are involved in protecting the marine environment and marine life. The directory brings together in one listing many various organizations, large and small, at work in the field around the world.
The term 'marine conservation organizations or groups' is loosely used, and includes a variety of organizations, groups, companies, academic institutions, international bodies, government agencies, networks, alliances, and initiatives. As long as what they do contributes to conserving the marine environment, we are interested in them.
Ranging from large institutions and foundations with a global reach to grassroots informal local groups, they all have one common interest, that of keeping our oceans healthy, clean and rich with marine life.
This is an ongoing project. Suggestions of groups to be added are welcomed.
