Put your business behind marine conservation that is measured, reported and open to scrutiny.
More than a donation
Healthy oceans underpin communities, economies and lives far beyond the coastline, and businesses have a real opportunity to be part of protecting them. We work on the ground in southwest Lombok, combining scientific research, direct conservation, education and long-term monitoring across coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass and the wider GITA NADA Marine Protected Area.
Corporate support lets us extend that work, and we make sure your organisation understands exactly what it is funding.
We will never encourage a partner to make an environmental claim the evidence cannot support. What we offer instead is clear, specific, verifiable information about what your contribution made possible.
For restricted funding we agree objectives, budget, deliverables and reporting before anything starts, and report against them afterwards.
Everything you can fund is work the ecosystems need, and it would be happening anyway.
Ways to partner
Most partnerships combine two or three of these. Each one leads to where it is set out in full below.

Flexible yearly support across all our work: the funding that keeps our scientists and infrastructure in place.

Five existing programmes, each with its own methods, monitoring and reporting.

Long-term ecological monitoring across 46 stations in the GITA NADA Marine Protected Area, feeding scientific research, technical reporting and marine management.
Funding can support

Prefer to give monthly?
We also welcome regular monthly contributions, and we’ll agree the recognition and updates that suit them.
What you can say afterwards
More and more, companies are asked not just whether they supported an environmental cause, but what their support actually achieved. Depending on the size and type of partnership, we can give you the evidence to answer that.
Telling your story with confidence
Your partnership shows exactly which conservation work your company supports, and we will help you share that proudly. To keep your claims credible, we keep the focus on the work itself: our name and logo celebrate your support for these projects, rather than certifying your company or products as green.

Already have an idea?
Maybe you are looking for an environmental partner of the year. Maybe your customers would fund a mangrove project. Maybe you are a dive brand interested in reef monitoring, or you have equipment and expertise that would solve a problem we have been working around for years. Or maybe you simply know your business should contribute, and have not yet worked out what that looks like.
Tell us a little about your organisation and what matters to you, and we’ll suggest where your support could make the biggest difference.
