You don't have to be a scientist to help conserve our mangroves 🤨🔎

Local communities already have the knowledge and the stake. With the right support, they lead the way in protecting what's theirs, because no one fights harder for a place than the people who call it home. These trainings bridge local wisdom and scientific research—putting community knowledge on the map.

📝 Citizen science is a key component within our Blue Roots Program, which we're currently raising funds for with Ma Earth!

Oceanus Conservation is part of Ma Earth Funding Round 3—and we have a chance to unlock up to $15,000 in matching funds!

Here's the incredible part:
For every $𝟭 you give, Ma Earth matches it up to $𝟭𝟬.

But this isn't just about the money. It's about what you can support:

We've been doing this work since 2021 and we've rehabilitated 35 hectares of abandoned fishponds and established conservation agreements for ~400 hectares of mangroves and seagrass.

Now, we need 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to help us go deeper.

You don't have to give a lot. You just have to give. And share to invite people in.

Because when communities and supporters come together—something magical happens.

Tañon Strait is the largest Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Philippines. In October 2025, the containment structure of wastewater from Universal Robina Corporation-Sugar and Renewables Distillery collapsed. The industrial wastewater spilled directly into the waters of the protected seascape.

What followed was unstoppable damage — mangroves, corals and seagrass died, fishkills were reported, and coastal communities lost their only source of income.

9 months after the spill, experts will present findings on the current state of the Tañon Strait, and communities will testify how their lives have been upended because of this environmental disaster.

Join us in an online public forum to learn what must be done, and who must be held accountable.
