Our approach

We do not arrive with a pre‑packaged solution. Instead, we:



Welcome expressions of interest from community groups interested in conserving coastal ecosystems



Listen to the experience, aspirations and plans of potential partners



Work together to find opportunties for collaboration, whether thats a funding call or a project where we can help



Co‑create and co-deliver projects with local community groups and leaders for long term benefit

Our model is to build projects that are rooted in local priorities and can continue long after external funding cycles end.

Our commitment is to continue to develop and facilitate coastal nature-based solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises. We embed climate justice in all that we do, recognising the inherent place of people in nature and its conservation.

Reach out

We are open to new collaborations. We welcome expressions of interest from communities worldwide. Our vision is to extend our work through tropical and sub-tropical regions. We would particularly like to hear from:

Community‑based organisations and local groups in coastal areas

Community‑ based organisations and local groups in coastal areas

Existing initiatives that want to strengthen or scale their work

Communities with early‑stage ideas or ambitions for mangrove or seagrass protection

You do not need to have everything figured out. A clear sense of your priorities and questions is enough to start a conversation.
