MARES is a nonprofit organization based in San Andrés Island that empowers children to become ocean guardians through education, community action, and environmental conservation. Through our Education, Action, and Transformation model, we help build a generation that protects the sea, values its territory, and creates lasting change for the future of the island.
It is an ancestral Raizal territory, located within the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve. This archipelago is home to 75% of the country’s coral reefs and more than 2,000 km² of mangroves, seagrasses, and coral ecosystems.
Our projected impact is to reach over 750 children by the end of 2026, and an estimated reach of more than 6.000 children over the next 5 years.
We don’t just count children, we document transformation.
