Together, We Make Change Possible
It takes all of us to protect the places we love. Your support powers conservation efforts across our blue planet.
AWARE Mission and Impact
For over 30 years, PADI AWARE has been driving local action for global ocean conservation, uniting divers, scientists, and ocean advocates to protect marine life and ecosystems. Through citizen science, policy change, and community grants, we empower Ocean Torchbearers to tackle the greatest threats to our ocean – from marine debris and habitat loss to species protection and climate change.
Our Plan to Protect the Ocean
The PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action provides a clear, measurable plan to address the most urgent marine environmental challenges. By mobilizing our global network of divers, dive centers, and partners, we work to:
- Remove ocean debris and combat plastic pollution
- Expand marine protected areas and safeguard biodiversity
- Protect endangered marine species
- Restore degraded marine habitats and enhance ocean climate resilience
Whether you're collecting critical data, advocating for stronger protections, or supporting ocean-positive businesses, your efforts help create a healthier, more sustainable ocean for future generations.
