Guadalupe Island Conservation Fund (GICF)
MarineBio has partnered with the GICF, which was established in 2007 by the members of the scuba diving and eco-community of Guadalupe Island to help the Government of Mexico protect the endangered shark population of Isla Guadalupe, which is one of Mexico's newly created Biosphere Reserves. Its remote location and lack of basic infrastructure makes enforcement and protection of its unique and endemic wildlife species a real challenge. Donations will go a long way toward the creation of a world class Biosphere dedicated to shark science and protection. Read more... |
MarineBio Offers Global Support For Frontline Marine Conservation Efforts
MarineBio offers administrative sponsorship/support to seagrass-roots marine conservation projects whose work supports our mission to share the wonders of the ocean realm to inspire education, research, and a sea ethic.
We believe the marine conservation community would be better served by working together to avoid duplication of efforts and to reduce the amount of work on basic administrative functions. Projects or campaigns under the MarineBio umbrella will work independently but resources and the exchange of experience and ideas will be shared.
We believe that the marine ecosystem needs to be protected and managed in a holistic way, because the entire biosphere is interconnected. Solutions to the most urgent problems in the marine environment will be generated and implemented more effectively through collaboration, cooperation, and coalition building among a diverse group of organizations and individuals who share the common goal to preserve and restore the ocean realm for future generations.
 MarineBio provides an administrative support system and online visibility for its projects; however, we do not directly fund or subsidize these projects at this time. Each project will manage its own fundraising efforts. Services MarineBio will provide include a mechanism to receive tax-deductible donations, outreach, publicity and awareness for campaigns on MarineBio.org, guidance for strategic planning, and guidance for project website design and messaging.
The work of MarineBio projects will be highlighted throughout the MarineBio network including the quarterly newsletters, the blog, and the Plankton Forums.
We welcome new projects to submit letters of intent describing their projects and administrative needs. Provided the mission of the project is in keeping with MarineBio’s mission, we will gladly join forces and together help make a positive impact on marine conservation. Feel free to also call the Director, David Campbell at 713-248-2576 to discuss the possibilities.
