The Organisation
Oceanus Conservation is a science-based non-profit environmental organization focusing on the conservation and restoration of blue carbon habitats in the Philippines. We have partnered with a number of global organizations to plant mangroves in the Philippines.
Philippines ranks 15th most mangrove-rich countries in the world according to the global mangrove forests distribution, and one of the countries with diverse seagrass species. This is why there is a need to push for its protection to conserve the last remaining blue carbon ecosystems in the country.
Currently, our blue carbon projects are restoring mangrove forests in abandoned fishponds and other restoration sites in the country together with the community and local government units.
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect and and restore blue carbon habitats and the surrounding wildlife to contribute on the conservation, education, and community development of the Filipino people.
We believe in sustaining biodiversity in order to provide ecosystem services such as food security for the Filipino people in the years to come.
Our Vision
To be a leading organization in the conservation of blue coastal ecosystems and harmonizing technology to achieve the sustainable development goals for the benefit of the Filipino people.
A data-driven conservation organization that engages multi-stakeholder to address national priorities.
Current Projects on Mangroves
We restore and protect in the Provinces of La Union, Misamis Oriental and Surigao del Sur. We are actively assisting our local government partners and grassroots communities with mangrove restoration training and protecting about 240 ha of mangrove forests.
