Securing the future of our oceans today
Mar Futura is an NGO that combines science, technology, and design to create innovative solutions for the ocean. We work alongside communities, governments, universities, and NGOs to transform knowledge into action, developing accessible tools and effective strategies for fair, collaborative, and evidence-based marine conservation and sustainable management.
Mission
Catalyze effective marine conservation and management by co-designing technological solutions, strengthening local capacities, and democratizing access to innovation.
Vision
To be a leading resource in the Global South where technology, design and science converge to transform ocean protection, generating a measurable and sustainable impact on marine biodiversity and those who depend on the sea.
Our Approach
Collaborative design
We recognize that each challenge is unique and requires co-designing solutions that consider local realities.
Access to technological advances
We want to help ensure that advances like AI benefit those working to protect the sea, regardless of their resources or capabilities.
We avoid generating dependency
We design processes in which organizations take ownership of solutions, generating the capacity to keep them operational over the long term.
Measurable impact
We rigorously evaluate our interventions to maximize their effectiveness and publish science that allows us to expand our lessons to other contexts.
Transformative collaboration
We believe in the power of uniting diverse actors and knowledges to generate high-impact solutions.
