PROTECTING OUR MARINE ENVIRONMENT
The Antigua & Barbuda Ocean Trust is a volunteer-based, local not-for-profit organisation, that supports the conservation of the seas and shores of our twin islands.
Our Youth Eco-Diver Program trains local youth members to become tomorrow’s marine ecologists. We have created a number of community initiatives that are designed to educate visitors, locals and youth. These include an educational card for visiting yachtsmen, a marine conservation program within our youth sailing programs and a safe sunscreen initiative.
Our Volunteer Diver Group consists of experienced divers that will help with a wide range of projects including underwater cleanups, scientific projects and becoming mentors for our Youth Eco-Diver Program.
We support existing projects including the removal of plastics from our seas and shores, the protection of sea turtles and their nesting sites, and the restoration and conservation of mangrove forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs.
We rely entirely on donations and on the hard work of our volunteers.
