Giving Indigenous and local scientists and communities the resources they need to protect and restore the ocean.

We find funding for our trusted partners, so they can focus on building capacity, scaling, and creating more positive impact.

The ocean is home to 80% of the worldʻs biodiversity.

And while Indigenous Peoples make up just 5% of the global population, they protect 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity.

The vital role of Indigenous communities in the conservation of nature is increasingly recognized. Unfortunately, not enough funding finds its way into the hands of Indigenous communities who do this important work.

This is due, in large part, to the fact that traditional conservation funding mechanisms are not well-suited for Indigenous and local communities.

We need more and better ways for donors to connect with and fund the Indigenous and local scientists and communities working on the ground to protect our ocean

Moonjelly Conservation
Impact Network

We are growing an international conservation impact network built on trust that benefits communities and the ocean environment. We are Indigenous and local communities around the world who know how to manage the ocean. We are scientists, business people, communicators, designers, and practitioners all working together to put the ocean first.

We are Moonjelly.
