Protecting Marine Area

Package includes: A Certificate of Environmental Stewardship in recognition for your positive contributions to environmental sustainability in the form of protecting marine area.

We protect marine area in key hotspots of the ocean - Casually. Our partners work to ensure that Marine Protected Areas (MPA) have their legal protection status enforced by supporting the necessary infrastructure to prevent illegal and destructive activities. They work with local communities to patrol the marine areas, check for illegal sewage dumping, which helps keep the water clean, establish sustainable fishing practices and management programs when necessary, and organize boat patrols to ensure the perimeter of the MPAs are not violated.

Why Protecting Marine Area is Important: Marine ecosystems encompass oceans, seas, and diverse habitats, covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, providing crucial benefits to humanity. Apart from being a vital food source and supporting economies, these ecosystems play a pivotal role in human well-being. They offer coastal protection, maintain marine biodiversity, and contribute to carbon sequestration. Mangroves and coral reefs, for instance, protect against extreme weather events such as storms and floods and absorb one-third of the carbon dioxide from human activities.

Protecting marine areas is essential to counteract overfishing, a threat affecting over 55% of the world’s coral reefs. Overharvesting disrupts the delicate balance, leading to issues like the growth of macroalgae, which can smother reefs and hinder their ability to adapt to other threats, such as poor water quality or warming ocean temperatures.

Thank you for enabling a better world!
