Geographic areas served: International in scope, Seacology supports island environments and cultures worldwide.
Mission:
Seacology is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization with the sole purpose of preserving the environments and cultures of islands worldwide. We implement solutions by asking islanders to identify a communal need Seacology could support, such as an elementary school or fresh water delivery system.

Our innovative win-win model is inexpensive, maintains indigenous land ownership and improves the entire community.
