About Us

Marinecultures.org is a non-profit organization headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland with a branch on the island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean. We are funded through membership fees, donations, and project grants.

We use aquaculture development projects to support and foster know-how for the establishment and expansion of environmentally sound, sustainable harvesting of sea resources in coastal communities, which are highly dependent on fishing. We work closely with the local population and actively seek collaboration with research in the fields of aqua culture and marine protection.

To harvest, not to rob

Aquacultures benefit coastal regions through a more stable provision of nutrition, additional income, and consequently, better quality of life. The approach of ecological aqua farming further promotes healthy economic growth; reduces environmental pressures and threats to marine life and furthers natural wildlife, public health and the advancement of women.
