March has been another inspiring month for our partner associations, each working on the front lines of marine and wildlife conservation. From protecting sea turtle nesting sites to cleaning beaches, restoring coral reefs, and educating local communities, their dedication never slows down.
In this monthly report, we shine a light on the impactful actions carried out in March by the organizations supported by Club Ocean. Their work is a reminder that real change happens through consistent effort and together, we're moving toward a healthier planet. 💙🌍
Education, Cleanup, and Turtle Ambulance
Dekafok x ClubOcean®
In March, Dekafok made exciting progress, preparations for the turtle ambulance are progressing and it should be operational for the turtle-laying season. The month was also marked by education, with 1,240 students from 24 schools learning about sea turtles and their protection. To celebrate World Water Day, they hosted a special session with a local water expert and awarded environmental volunteer badges to young participants. Finally, with the help of the municipality they removed 43 bags of waste from the beaches. 🐢🚑

Ciao is known for her curious behavior around marinas and boats, but Morigenos reminds everyone to observe responsibly and avoid interaction.
