Save Philippine Seas began as an online platform in May 2011 as a response to a large-scale illegal wildlife trade case dubbed in the media as the “rape of the Philippine Seas.” What was meant to be a short-lived social media campaign continued to grow. We believe the Philippines is worth diving for. It's been said the Philippines is worth dying for. If there were a movie made about the Philippine seas, it should be called Crazy Rich Oceans. The Philippines has been described as the center of marine biodiversity — but also the center of marine adversity. Save Philippine Seas (SPS) aims to conserve coastal and marine resources by empowering seatizens for collective action and behavior change. We call ourselves, communities, and partners as "seatizens" to remind us that we are citizens of the sea. Meet the Team SPS is run by a lean team of dedicated and passionate seatizens. Our core team consists of our Executive Director, Creative Director, Project Managers, Administrative and Dolfinance Officer, and Social Media Mola-Mola. Our number grows based on our program needs. We come from various backgrounds, united by our love for the seas and obsession with excellence and ocean-related puns. Dive into our journey Here are some highlights through the years: 2011 Began as a social media campaign in response to an illegal wildlife trade case using the hashtags #reefwatchPH and #savephseas 🤳🏽 2014 Co-organized the 1st Shark Summit in Cebu and co-founded Save Sharks Network Philippines 🤝 2020 In the midst of a pandemic, we were able to install mooring buoys in Daanbantayan, create a virtual version of Reimagine Recycling, and develop online activities like Battle of the Brain Corals 📶 2012 Started our first community-based initiative called the Shark Shelter Project in Daanbantayan, Cebu with the goal to conserve thresher sharks 🦈 2015 Held the first four SEA Camps and Daanbantayan became the home of the first shark and ray sanctuary in the Philippines 🌊 2021 Launched regional programs from our homes: the Marine Accelerator Program and Haquathon 2.0 💻 2013 Ofishally registered as a non-profit organization! 📝 2019 Marked the first year of Reimagine Recycling and Haquathon, and the 11th and final SEA Camp! ♻️ 2023 Back to in-person programming with Change the Current 2.0, Commservation, and the Marine Litter Learning Kit 📣 Our Guiding Principles What Clients Say CHANGE THE SYSTEM, NOT THE SYMPTOM We explore the root causes of marine conservation issues and focus on long-term impact by changing mindsets, attitudes, and practices. CALL IN. Instead of calling out and naming and shaming, we hold stakeholders accountable through productive and constructive dialogue. SLOW AND CLOSE > FAST AND BIG We prioritize quality over quantity, and scaling deep over wide. SWEAT THE DETAILS. Attention to detail communicates honor and excellence. DON'T PREACH TO THE CHOIR— BUILD THE CHOIR We do not grow from sameness. We strive to reach and work with partners of all kinds so we do not exist in an echo chamber. TAKE PROBLEMS OF THE SEA SERIOUSLY, BUT WE DON'T TAKE OURSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY. Fun and humor are key to sustainability. Frequently asked questions How can I donate?

Change the Current is a climate change education program that leads to action. Why change the current? The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as increased frequency of extreme weather events, extreme rainfall, and sea level rise. Children and youth are experiencing these effects, threatening their wellbeing, survival, and access to social services. To increase their ability to adapt to the climate crisis, we must change the current. Reference: UNICEF Environment and Climate Change Programme "The growth and skills I gained will always be instilled wherever I am in this walk of life. It was a life-changing Change the Current." — YSEALI Change the Current Participant How we're changing the current 60 learners 60 teacher-advisers Participants are selected from four DepEd Divisions that are vulnerable to climate change impacts: Albay, Dipolog, Samar, and Valenzuela. 32 youth leaders (18 to 23 years old) from all over the Philippines representing 25 projects for climate action 295 public school educators across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao Meet our Climate Changemakers The pilot run of Change the Current was an online training in partnership with the Department of Education's Disaster Risk Reduction Management Service and Youth Formation Division and UNICEF Philippines. The Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Change the Current (CTC) seeks to empower Filipino youth, 18 to 23 years old, by developing leadership and entrepreneurial skills and leading climate change-related projects in their communities. Participants are expected to attend a virtual training program and propose climate change adaptation and mitigation projects in their home communities.
