Protect the Blue Heart
For many of us, the ocean isn't just a place. It's home, a classroom, and a source of life-changing adventure. The waters that shaped your journey face growing pressures: warming seas, overfishing, plastic pollution, habitat loss.
A legacy gift ensures the underwater world that shaped your story continues to inspire the people who follow you into it. It keeps the work funded long after your last dive.
REQUEST THE GUIDEThe PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action
Turning diver participation into measurable real world ocean impact
Our shared conservation framework with PADI. A global plan that mobilises divers, dive professionals and dive communities around measurable ocean conservation outcomes, through citizen science, marine protection, restoration and community action.
Five pathways to ocean recovery
Marine Debris Program
Flagship: Dive Against Debris®
Goal: Cleaner oceans
Diver-led marine debris data and cleanup efforts that inform policy and drive solutions to plastic pollution.
Vulnerable Marine Species Program
Flagship: Global Shark & Ray Census
Goal: Reduced extinction risk
Diver-generated species data that supports conservation action and protection for vulnerable marine life.
Marine Protected Areas Program
Flagship: Adopt the Blue™
Goal: Expanded ocean protection
Community-driven monitoring and advocacy that supports smarter marine protection decisions worldwide.
Marine Habitat Restoration Program
Flagship: Diver-led habitat monitoring and recovery
Goal: Restored ocean habitats
Local restoration and monitoring initiatives that strengthen coral reefs, seagrass and critical marine ecosystems.
AWARE Community Grant Program
Flagship: AWARE Grant Program
Goal: Community-led impact
Funding locally led conservation initiatives that protect marine ecosystems and empower ocean communities.
