The stated main objective of the NETCET project is 'to develop common strategies for the conservation of cetaceans and sea turtles in the Adriatic through regional cooperation. Due to the migratory nature of these species cross-border collaboration and shared management responsibility between Adriatic states is crucial in order to plan effective long-term conservation strategies.'

The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program brings together expertise from across NOAA for a multidisciplinary approach to studying these complex ecosystems to inform more effective management. They work closely with NOAA scientists in the National Ocean Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, and National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service. The Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) is the program's information portal that provides access to NOAA coral reef data and products.

The main objective of the Nagenahiru Foundation is to facilitate the sustainable community management of mangrove ecosystems of the Madampa and Maduganga Lake Wildlife Sanctuary in Sri Lanka.

The Namibian Dolphin Project is a research and conservation organization run by several independent scientists and educators. Their mission is primarily to research Namibia’s cetaceans to generate data on these populations that can be used for their conservation through management. Their focus is on coastal dolphins, as well as humpback whales, right whales and leatherback turtles. Additionally they are work with the community through an outreach programme to increase awareness of the Namibia’s marine life.

NCRI operates at the Nova Southeastern University Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In order to assess, monitor, and restore coral reefs through research and education, the National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) was established by Congressional mandate in 1998. Researchers at NCRI are exploring scientifically sound approaches to understand, assess, monitor, restore and mitigate injured coral reefs. NCRI is recognized by NOAA as one of its external coral reef research institutes. NCRI's management-oriented research is designed to provide solid information and research products designed to help understand, manage and conserve these invaluable assets for generations to come.

The mission of the NFCC is to protect healthy oceans and fisheries through collaborative problem-solving, thus to maintain the ocean's capacity to sustain abundant, healthy fisheries and ecosystems. They link people who depend on the oceans with experts in science, policy, and business to develop solutions that last. Their largest program, Global Ocean Health, concentrates on carbon pollution and its multiple consequences to healthy seas and coastal communities.

One of the largest non-profit scientific and educational organizations in the world, the National Geographic Society is one of our planet's greatest advocates, educating and protecting the natural world.

The Foundation is a leading voice for U.S. protected waters, working with communities to conserve and expand those places for a healthy ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes. These protected places, the national marine sanctuaries, are home to a significant variety of species. They are protected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and supported by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, who together partner with communities to educate, study, and conserve these spectacular places for future generations.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) program which identifies, designates, manages, and protects national marine sanctuaries.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce that focuses on the conditions of the oceans, major waterways, and the atmosphere. Their Marine Debris Program helps to identify reduce and prevent debris in the marine environment, targeting beachgoers, fishers, boat and marine owners, and students and their educators. Their resources include useful information products. Their ARGO programsupports a global array of almost 4,000 robotic profiling floats that measure the temperature and salinity of the upper 2,000 meters (1.2 miles) of the ocean. This constant monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and currents of the upper ocean is publicly available within hours after collection and used in research across the globe.

The role of the NPWS in the marine environment includes protection of marine habitats, protection of marine life in particular Cetaceans (principally dolphins) and seals, marine licencing, marine research and the control of marine research areas, amongst others.

New York City-based Natural Resources Defense Council is a non-profit international environmental advocacy group works to protect the oceans from pollution and exploitation. The organisation supports the implementation of laws that help to save the marine life including allowing overfished species to rebound. In addition, the council takes necessary efforts to preserve ocean treasures, prevent destructive fishing practices and protect coastal communities from offshore drilling, among others.
