3 Seacology LEADERSHIP
Message from the Chair
Seacology is a small charity with a big mission: we aim to save island habitats and cultures throughout the world.
Islands are the greatest treasure chests of biodiversity we know of. In some island ecosystems, a majority of the plants and animals are endemic—found nowhere else—and island flora and fauna have the highest known rates of extinctions.
Our way of protecting island habitats is simple, but highly effective. We partner with indigenous people to build a village school, or medical clinic, or other needed public work in exchange for the villagers protecting their rainforest, coral reef, or other precious habitat.
Seacology’s unique approach has saved precious island environments in 155 islands in 55 different countries.
We believe in a win-win-win approach to environmental conservation: indigenous people win not only a needed public work, but an increased sense of worth and dignity. Our donors win, knowing that their gifts are used in an extraordinarily efficient way to achieve major humanitarian and environmental goals. And the world wins by having precious island habitats protected by those who know and love them the most, villagers whose links to the forests and marine resources stretch back for generations.
Whether you be a Seacology donor, an island leader, a foundation executive, or just an interested citizen of the world, we welcome your interest in Seacology. Thank you for joining with us to save some of the world’s most precious habitats. Seacology staff and Board members meet with an indigenous community on Moorea, French Polynesia.

The original facility became so popular with children visiting from neighboring islands that the dormitory was needed to accomodate them.

ABOUT ‘Professor’ Shekue Our 2014 Seacology Prize was awarded to “Professor” Ali Shaibu Shekue from Kenya.
Though not a professor in the literal sense, Shekue is recog- nized throughout Kenya for his knowledge and skill pertain- ing to artisanal fisheries. He is among the few remaining old fishermen, and throughout his lifetime he has witnessed people being dispossessed from their fishing grounds and the loss of traditional fisheries management practices. As a result of these changes, Shekue observed a drastic decline in the fisheries’ resources, the destruction of habitats, and an increase in illegal fishing activities. Rather than remaining silent, he began working to mobilize local communities and in 2002 the first community-managed marine protected area in Mkokoni, Kiunga was created due to his efforts.
“I thank Seacology for its respect and recognition of indig- enous knowledge that exists with the local community who are mostly uneducated and for its keenness to utilize this knowledge to enhance conservation,” Shekue said in From left, Vice Chair Ken Murdock, Chair Paul Alan Cox, Vice President Doug Herst, and President Mike Burbank present the 2014 Seacology Prize to Ali Shaibu Shekue. his acceptance speech.

From this Seacology AWARDS At the end of the year, Prince Albert II of Monaco named Seacology as a laureate for the 2015 Prince’s Prize for Innovative Philanthropy. The Prince’s Prize, now in its second year, is a coordinated effort by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Tocqueville Foundation to recognize charitable organizations that utilize creative approaches to addressing social and environmental challenges. “Receiving the Prince’s recognition is a great honor for Seacology—a small not-for-profit that works with island villages to swap schools, clinics, and wa- ter supplies in exchange for rainforest and marine reserves,” said Seacology founder and Board Chair Dr. Paul Alan Cox. “On behalf of indigenous con- servationists throughout the world, we are thrilled to accept this laureate.” “We all have a duty to ensure the world’s ecosystems are protected, and Seacology’s commitment to achieving this is highly commendable. Their innovative approach to conservation challenges conventional ways of thinking about development and leads the way in promoting new kinds of philanthropic activities,” said HSH Prince Albert II. “The fact that Prince Albert II recognized our grassroots efforts is extremely gratifying, particularly since the prince has a stellar reputation as a marine conservationist and philanthropist,” said Seacology’s Executive Director Duane Silverstein.
