THE SEACOLOGY PRIZE
The Seacology Prize. Each year, we award the Seacology Prize to an islander for exceptional achievement in preserving island environments and culture.

Our Approach. At Seacology, we believe that environmental issues are human issues. When an island community wants to protect a forest or marine area, we offer a grant that will benefit the whole community—for example, a school, ecotourism center, or water system. This win-win approach recognizes the efforts of indigenous communitiesand gives
THE SEACOLOGY PRIZE
The Seacology Prize. Each year, we award the Seacology Prize to an islander for exceptional achievement in preserving island environments and culture. This honor comes with an award of $10,000 and a trip to the United States for a public award ceremony in October. The first Seacology Prize went to Chief Ulu of Samoa, in the South Pacific.

The barangay (village) of San Pedro lies along the coast of Biri Island, in Northern Samar. Its population of 1,138 relies heavily on fishing for subsistence. Potable water is scarce, and health services are very limited. The Center for Empowerment and Resource Development is working with San Pedro to implement a coastal resource managementprogram.

What We Do
WE WORK ONLY ON ISLANDS, BECAUSE THEY ARE UNIQUELY VULNERABLE. In the last 500 years, 80% OF ALL RECORDED EXTINCTIONS OCCURRED ONISLANDS.
Island communities face constant pressure to exploit naturalresources.
But if a community wants to preserve its forest or sea, Seacology makes a grant for something the whole community needs, like a school, solar power, or help with ecotourism. Seacology helps island communities prosper by protecting resources—not exploiting them.Learn more
