ABOUT OCEANUS CONSERVATION:

We are a non-profit non-government organization registered under SEC no CN202003634.

Oceanus mission is to protect and restore blue carbon habitats (i.e. mangroves, seagrass), and contribute to its conservation, environmental education, and community development. Oceanus’ vision is to be a leading organization in harmonizing conservation of coastal ecosystems, community needs and technological solutions in order to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals for the benefit of the Filipino people.
