🎉 Celebrating 3 Years of Marine Education at Ma

🎉 Celebrating 3 Years of Marine Education at Matemwe Secondary School! 🌊

This year, we hosted an amazing celebration and ceremony to mark the end of the school year of Matemwe Secondary School! 🐠🌴 For the past three years, we’ve been teaching students about marine science and conservation, and the impact has been incredible. We’ve seen their knowledge and passion for the ocean grow, showing us that education truly is the key to change.

We were honored to welcome parents, teachers, the head teacher, representatives from the Ministry of Fisheries, village chiefs, and the district commissioner to join us on this special day. Their support reminds us how vital marine education is for the future of Zanzibar.

A huge thank you to all our donors who make this program possible. Your generosity empowers the next generation of marine ambassadors and helps us work toward a more sustainable future.

This discovery serves as both a celebration of mar

This discovery serves as both a celebration of marine life’s resilience and a wake-up call to intensify global conservation efforts. Saving coral reefs like this requires collective action to combat climate change and protect the ocean’s treasures.

Saving coral reefs like this requires all of us to come together. We must reduce carbon emissions, protect marine biodiversity, and support initiatives that safeguard these ecosystems. At The Living Ocean, we are committed to protecting corals and marine life through conservation projects. Visit: thelivingocean.org and learn more.

Did you know that the Great Barrier Reef is not on

Did you know that the Great Barrier Reef is not only the largest coral reef ecosystem in the world but also one of the few living structures visible from space? Stretching over 2,000 kilometers along Australia’s northeast coast, this stunning natural wonder is a treasure trove of biodiversity, featuring vibrant coral formations, diverse marine life, and breathtaking landscapes.

And did you know The Living Ocean has a project dedicated to restoring coral reefs?

🌊 We had the honor of welcoming esteemed profes

🌊 We had the honor of welcoming esteemed professors from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) to Zanzibar! It was an absolute pleasure to show Tinka Murk, Chair of the Marine Animal Ecology Group; Ronald Osinga, Professor of Marine Biology with a specialization in corals and sponges; and Marjolijn Christianen, Associate Professor of Marine Ecology, around our conservation projects. 🌱

Together, we explored our coral nursery, sea cucumber farm, and turtle hatchery, sharing insights on how each initiative contributes to preserving Zanzibar's marine life. It was inspiring to introduce them to the spaces where future WUR interns will immerse themselves in hands-on conservation work, gaining invaluable experience while making a positive impact. 🌍🐢

Thank you, Tinka, Ronald, and Marjolijn, for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and support. We’re grateful for this growing partnership and excited to see the meaningful contributions our future interns will bring. Here’s to a thriving future for marine ecosystems and conservation efforts in Zanzibar! 💙

Did you know that unlike the four seasons we experience on land, our oceans have three distinct "seasons"? These are Winter Storm, Upwelling, and Oceanic, each marking a fascinating transformation.

Let’s embrace the changes this season brings and work together to conserve our precious oceans.
