La Svizzera per gli oceani

The oceans sustain all life. We depend on them for our survival.

We want to bring the blue economy, conservationists, and
people who care, together to promote Ocean Vitality.

Why it matters

Acidification, warming,
habitat destruction, coastal pollution and overfishing are destroying the oceans.

How we work

We bring together people - like conservationists and the blue economy - who want to address the challenges.

What we do

We are 100% volunteers.

We give funds, organise forum and challenge events, and set
wheels in motion.

Projects we support today

"The protection of the monk seal is not only an environmental issue, but a social and economic issue as well. The monk seal is a symbol of the Mediterranean."

"The research and media vessel Aldebaran travels the oceans as the independent voice of the sea. On board, scientists and journalists are, literally, 'in the same boat'."

Monk seals in the world. Read more.
