Conservation Manager

Organisation overview

Blue Ventures is an award-winning marine conservation organisation working to rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities. We’re committed to protecting marine biodiversity in ways that benefit coastal people. We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and where there is a fundamental unmet need to support human development. As a social enterprise, we organise marine conservation expeditions in which volunteers from around the world join us to support our projects in Madagascar, Belize and Timor-Leste, working closely with our field research teams and in partnership with local communities. Our expeditions combine conservation research, education and adventure travel to give volunteers high quality and productive conservation tourism experiences that benefit host communities and support pioneering conservation programmes.
