Over the past two decades we have worked in over 13 countries to help small scale projects that might not normally receive funding to get off the ground.
We have supported a wide range of projects, including everything from art installations to snorkel trails. Each year, we select relevant conservation themes for the grants, but since day one, projects have always been required to align with our ethos of connecting people with the Ocean.
