Take a plunge into  Marine Conservation 

We are a women-led, Netherlands-based NGO working internationally to strengthen marine ecosystems. Our team brings academic backgrounds and scientific knowledge. Our mission is to apply the most effective, evidence-based techniques to ensure long-term resilience of the ecosystems and the species that depend on them.

Empowering Local Women and Youth

We involve the local communities so that our work generates not only environmental impact but also social and economic benefits. Locals are not simply employed: they hold real decision-making power. As custodians of local ecological knowledge, they are trained to lead restoration efforts and manage monitoring data, shifting conservation from charity to co-ownership.

Scholarships and Internships

The Mermaid Project offers, hands-on scientific scholarships and research internships. If you’re a student hoping to complete an academic research project, we’re happy to discuss your goals and can accommodate projects on a case-by-case basis.
