Marine Conservation Network
Our Mission
To protect, conserve, and preserve marine ecosystems through education, advocacy, and collaboration.
We empower people to act — creating awareness, inspiring stewardship, and uniting communities to safeguard the ocean and all who depend on it.
Our Vision
A world where people feel deeply connected to the ocean — inspiring global action that protects marine life and ensures a thriving, healthy ocean for generations to come.
Together, we’re building the next wave of ocean protection.
For over five years, Marine Conservation Network has protected marine life through education, advocacy, and community collaboration.
Now, we’re expanding our impact by strengthening our Ocean Guardians and Ambassador Programs — empowering more people to take action for the ocean.
We’re developing new training courses and certifications, creating volunteer resources, and rebuilding in-person outreach and partnerships.
Our goal is to raise $12,000 to bring these programs to life in 2025.
Your support will help us:
- Train and certify new Ocean Guardians
- Equip volunteers with education and field materials
- Grow our Ambassador Program and community network
Your donation bridges the gap between today’s foundation and tomorrow’s potential — helping MCN continue its mission to educate, advocate, and protect our oceans for generations to come.
