Get to know us!
We are a local NGO based in Indonesia with legal number AHU-0011740.AH.01.04. Tahun 2023. Our vision is a world in which nature and people can thrive together. Our purpose is to protect endangered marine biodiversity whilst maintaining or improving the well being of coastal communities. We are committed to evidence-based conservation practice, which means all our projects are designed using participatory research conducted in partnership with coastal communities and local universities, and assessed using ecological and social techniques and best practice in impact assessment methodologies.
Our Achievement
Yayasan Kebersamaan untuk Lautan continues to make significant strides in marine conservation and community empowerment. From 2022, over 150 fisher households actively participated in our Pay to Release program, contributing to the safe release of 1201 critically endangered sharks and rays. As part of our commitment to sustainable fishing practices, four gillnets were replaced with alternative gear, resulting in zero bycatch of sharks and rays. Additionally, approximately $6,000 was disbursed to coastal communities through conditional cash transfers, supporting local livelihoods while promoting conservation efforts. Most importantly, 100% of participating households reported improved well-being, reflecting the success of our holistic approach. These milestones align with our vision of creating “a world in which nature and people can thrive together,” ensuring that marine ecosystems and coastal communities flourish side by side.
