EarthWatch is an international non-profit that supports scientific field research by offering volunteers the opportunity to join research teams around the world. This unique model is creating a systematic change in how the public views science and its role in environmental sustainability.

The East African Whale Shark Trust is a grass roots project dedicated to marine conservation in general and whale shark conservation in particular. Based on Diani beach the EAWST was founded in response to the increase in the whale shark population along the Kenyan coast as well as increased interest from the tourist sector. The increase in the number of whale sharks along the Kenyan coast has meant they have become a target. All that is required by international law is that whale shark trade be monitored. The EAWST provides a research centre for collecting and analysing data on the local whale shark population, its habits and movements. The Trust works with other regional organisations, the long term goal being to increase protection and promote the conservation of the biggest fish in the ocean.

Eco-union is an environmental association founded by a multidisciplinary group of professionals and eco-activists. The association's focus is on the transition towards sustainable development models in the Euro-Mediterranean region through the linkage of economics and ecology. Projects include Blue Tourism, a project focused on the analysis and evaluation of coastal and maritime tourism at the global level. It comprises a regional sector review, as well as scalable regional initiatives to strengthen maritime governance and environmental management in the coastal and maritime sector.

Ecologistas en Accion is a confederation of more than 300 environmental groups in towns and cities in Spain. It is part of the so-called social ecologism, which holds the view that environmental problems have their origin in an increasingly globalized production and consumption model, from which other social problems also derive, and that must be transformed if an ecological crisis is to be avoided. To this end, it carries out awareness campaigns, public or legal complaints, while at the same time developing concrete and viable alternatives in each of the areas in which it carries out its activity. In addition to the local groups, there are thematic areas integrated by volunteers from different groups, one being about the Marine Environment.

Equilibrio Marino promotes the effective protection of marine areas to guarantee the recovery of marine ecosystems, using current scientific research. One such project is the SOS Corales (SOS Corals), which is a recovery program of the Candelabro coral and orange coral colonies of the coast of Spain. Amongst their many projects are the creation of artificial reef parks, protected marine micro areas in the Alboran Sea, a Sea Brigade which reacts to marine pollution including involving divers in underwater ocean cleanups in the south of Spain, and advocacy for sanctuaries for cetaceans.

The European Centre for information on Marine Science and Technology (EurOcean), established in 2002, is an independent scientific non-governmental organisation whose membership comprises leading European marine research, funding and outreach organisations. Its aim is to facilitate information exchange and generate value-added products in the field of marine sciences and technologies between a wide range of governmental and non-governmental bodies. EurOcean provides comprehensive databases of information on topics related to marine science and technology in Europe with priority given to three main domains: Marine Knowledge Management, Marine Research Infrastructures and Ocean Public Outreach and Awareness activities. It was founded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer).

EMR is a national programme of experiential learning about marine conservation, established in eight regions of New Zealand with up to 28 coordinators, with a sister programme in one state of Australia.

The primary goal of Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants is to inspire the next generation of scientists and explorers. They do this by bringing those on the frontlines of science, exploration, adventure and conservation, live into classrooms through virtual guest speakers and field trips. Since September 2015, they have hosted 3,500 live events, connecting over a million students to scientists and explorers in 96 countries, ‘… free for classrooms everywhere!’ The secondary purpose of Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants is to fund innovative research, conservation, expeditions, etc. Their partners provide lessons and virtual field trips for classrooms and in exchange receive donations to their organizations to carry out research, conservation and expedition activities.
