OceansWatch is an all volunteer and donor funded organization.
We will be successful only with your involvement and your help.
Our mission is helping to preserve the ocean environments, reef systems, villages, schools and people living in maritime communities on islands and in coastal villages in developing countries, where the need for environmental sustainability and humanitarian aid is great, where there is little or no infrastructure and support services are lacking, where delivery by sailboat is the most efficient way to reach areas in need. Please join us below or DONATE and VOLUNTEER to help in any amount or way you can.
