About the organisation
Blue Cradle Foundation is a marine conservation organisation headquartered in Aotearoa New Zealand and working across the Pacific. Its mission is to inspire, connect and empower people to better understand, value and care for the ocean through education, storytelling and collaborative action, guided by the belief that a healthy ocean depends on an ocean-literate society.
Blue Cradle advances marine protection through ocean-literacy programmes such as Blue Schools, which engage students and educators, and community-led marine regeneration initiatives — including its Tiaki Moana convenings — that bring together communities, Indigenous peoples, scientists, governments, NGOs and industry to develop inclusive approaches to marine protection and sustainable ocean management. Its work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
