About Us

Blue Ventures is an award-winning marine conservation organisation dedicated to conservation, education and sustainable development in tropical coastal communities.

Through our marine expeditions, volunteers from around the world join us on career breaks, student gap years and internships, working closely with our field research teams, in partnership with local communities.

We have a commitment to responsible travel on all of our expeditions.

What do we believe?

We believe that with the right knowledge, developing coastal communities can live in harmony with their marine environments.

What is our purpose?

To give coastal communities the knowledge and skills they need to live sustainably.

How do we do it?

We have a team of dedicated researchers and volunteers who study all aspects of the marine ecosystem - from fish species and coral all the way through to local fishing techniques and ways of life. The results from our work help us to develop the local populations we work with in a sustainable way and propose new ideas to benefit coastal communities everywhere.

With our dynamic synergy of motivated volunteers and conservation expeditions, we can help local, coastal communities live more sustainably.
