Projects

At our coral farm in the Jambiani Lagoon, we cultivate corals that are used to restore damaged reefs. We build artificial reefs, install buoys for fishing and diving boats to prevent anchor damage – and raise awareness of the ecological importance of the reefs.

Healthy marine ecosystems can only be preserved in the long term if local people are actively involved in their protection and use – and derive tangible benefits from them.

Alongside collecting marine life and cultivating seagrass, sponge farming has become a new occupation for women on the east coast of Zanzibar. Our sponges are unique.

We empower local people to restore coral reefs independently and offer practical training to help them do so.

Our awareness-raising programme strengthens the local community’s environmental awareness whilst also showing them where and how marinecultures.org operates.

We run a volunteering programme that involves dedicated supporters in our work to promote healthy marine ecosystems.
