Semarang, Java has heavily polluted beaches, including Mangunharjo beach, which is directly adjacent to local fishermen housing, and many low-income families. Due to lack of education and resources, many residents of this area throw litter in the ocean and the local estuary. Recently, women in the village have begun to make waste bank and upcycle their garbage into handicrafts, which they would like to sell for a living; but they lack the tools and training to develop and create a market for these items. This project aims to "accelerate" their handicraft enterprises.

Mamuju Eco-Z Camp and the Pandemic Underwater Festival are efforts to increase public awareness (especially generation Z) about waste management and the environment. Mamuju Eco-Z Camp is a 3 day program for selected students in Mamuju and educates 35 high school students on project leadership and encourages them to start their own environmental campaign in their own schools.

The aim of this project is to clean up 5 tons of marine debris from Byblos' sea floor, including fishing nets and lines, plastic bags, cans, face masks, tires and all kinds of man-made pollution.

This project will expand a coral nursery for a small scale reef rehabilitation (planting 25 new corals) in Southern Sri Lanka as well has train 5 ocean ambassadors to monitor the coral sites. They will also collect marine debris (500kg) and develop a program for ocean literacy to promote sustainable development and begin implementation in schools in the region as well as conduct teacher trainings.

The grant will be used to set up a coral nursery in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. After establishing the artificial coral nursery and reef, further research will be conducted involving policy makers in Sri Lanka to establish a marine protected area in the southern coastal belt. The grant also will be used to establish a school curriculum in Sri Lanka on ocean literacy and education.

The Phoenix Expedition will be making a journey from France to California in order to document and promote local solutions to regenerate marine ecosystems with a focus on Blue Carbon and CO2 emissions avoidance.

Ten percent of all funds received will go towards restoration of coastal habitats with local partners that are visited throughout the journey.

There are multiple serious environmental problems in Vietnam including overfishing, irresponsible tourism, and lack of environmental literacy, waste management and government regulations to tackle these problems. This initiative is a seed project to establish a baseline for a bigger long-term marine environmental conservation, education, and research project. Interactive, educational activities will be conducted after identifying knowledge gaps in the environmental literacy of locals and ex-pats through discussion-based meetings.

This project carries out clean up activities and monitoring of litter and microplastics in the Sanguino River and streams near a protected coastline located in Maro-Cerro Gordo Cliffs Natural Area (Nerja and Almuñécar, Spain). Activities include cleanup and litter characterization, analysis of water samples for microplastics by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), training citizen scientists to maintain fieldwork, and communicating project impact with local policymakers and stakeholders.

Kelapa Dua is one of the many small islands in Kepulauan Seribu. The island/waters are part of a National Park system, and the island itself is heavily influenced by tidal waves. In order to help protect the coastline from erosion, this group has proposed a coral reef restoration/artificial reef project. The plan is to use a concrete transplantation method to plant a test track of reef, to monitor the growth of the transplanted corals, to hold a training session for the Island society, and to work with the local government to impose limitations on human activity in the transplantation area.
