Restore Marine Ecosystems
Dedicated to protecting mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs—the foundation of Tanzania's ocean life.
Youth-Powered Ocean Movement
695 young ocean leaders and 30 empowered coastal communities united for a sustainable blue future in Tanzania.
At SOA Tanzania, we empower youth and coastal communities to restore marine ecosystems and build a sustainable blue economy. Our oceans sustain life, biodiversity, and livelihoods in Tanzania, yet face threats from pollution, overexploitation, and climate change.
Through advocacy, research, innovative solutions, and community action, we protect mangroves, seagrass, coral reefs, and marine life for generations ahead.
What we do
