CO-EXIST is a marine conservation initiative dedicated to protecting our oceans through science, education, and community action.

Working alongside leading researchers, educators, and partner organisations, we support field-based conservation efforts. Click here to view more information about our Partners and Projects.

Providing education and real-world experience in the field, CO-EXIST empowers young people to become informed stewards of the marine environment. Each year, we take this mission a step further through our annual WHYCOEXIST competition. The winners are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to a pristine marine ecosystem in the Seychelles, where they learn to dive, explore vibrant coral reefs, and witness first-hand the beauty and fragility of our oceans.

During their time in the Seychelles, participants work alongside leading marine research scientists, gaining hands-on knowledge in conservation, biodiversity, and ocean health. This immersive experience is designed to ignite passion, build confidence, and inspire the next generation of ocean advocates.
