INTRODUCTION
1. What the directory aims to achieve
The Global Oceans Non-Governmental Organization Directory was put together by the
Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts, and Islands to provide a cohesive and current source of
information on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world that are
involved in furthering the agenda of the World Summit on Sustainable Development
(WSSD) and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation related to issues of governance,
management, and conservation of oceans, coasts, and small island developing States.
The Global Forum was created at the World Summit on Sustainable Development
(WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa in September 2002, with the aim to advance the
interests of oceans-which incorporate 72% of the Earth; coasts-the home of 50% of the
world's population; and islands - 43 (22%) of the world's nations are small island
developing States which are especially dependent on the oceans. NGOs working with
issues of oceans, coasts, and small island developing States have been recognized as
crucial participants and partners in the advancement of the goals set forth at the WSSD.
The Global Oceans NGO Directory is a web-based directory, allowing it to be widely

accessible and easily searchable. It will be located at the Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts
and Islands web-site: www.globaloceans.org. NGOs that are included in the Directory
have been selected on the basis of the following criteria: 1. the organization is not profit-
seeking, 2. the organization is non-governmental, 3. the organization’s work, or a portion
there of, is marine-focused (this includes a broad range of foci from socio-economics,
coastal community development, and poverty reduction to habitat conservation and
scientific research), 4. the organization is currently active and in good standing in its
community and region of work, 5. organizations in the international section have a global
scope and focus, while those in the regional and national are based in, and focus on,
issues pertaining to the regional and local level.
The Directory represents a work in progress that is to be up-dated as new information is

submitted and added. On the Global Forum web-site there is a mechanism for updating
existing information and adding new organizations. Any corrections or additions can be
submitted for incorporation into the directory by downloading the available word
document, filling out the form with pertinent information, and submitting it for review
and incorporation into the directory either electronically, by e-mailing the contact person
at the bottom of the form, or by mailing it to the Global Forum Secretariat at the address
provided.
Future and updated versions of the directory will be regularly posted. Partners of the
Global Forum are not responsible for the content of the directory. Any mistakes or
omissions are the responsibility of the authors of the report. Further, the Global Forum
will reserve the right to exclude organizations if they do not generally match the criteria
stated above. The Global Forum will rely on the NGOs to provide accurate information
and update changes as needed.

2. Directory Structure
The Directory is composed of two main sections. The first section lists major
international NGOs that are involved in programs related to oceans, coasts, and small
island developing States on the global scale. For each organization listed, there is a short
description of the mission, goals, and history, followed by the contact information for the
organization's representative offices around the globe.
The second section presents active regional and national NGOs working with issues of
oceans, coasts, and small island developing States in different regions around the globe.
Rather than focusing on global conservation and management of the oceans, these NGOs
are primarily and foremost concerned with the marine-related problems in the region and
nations in which they are based and operate. Some organizations work on sustainable
development in environmental issues, and poverty alleviation in local coastal
communities. After a short description of the aims, objectives, history, and mission of
each organization, there is contact information provided for its regional or national
offices.
A categorical and alphabetical index will be available on the Global Forum website to
enable easy browsing and searching, along with the complete Directory for those wishing
to download the entire document.
3. Target Audience
The Directory is for use by non-governmental, intergovernmental, international and

governmental organizations, as well as the public sector, individual activists and other
groups, in order to help identify partners and colleagues in the areas of oceans, coasts,
and small island developing States around the globe. The directory will also aid in the
formation of networks and partnerships, facilitating organizations’ efforts in the
implementation of the targets and goals set forth at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development on oceans, coasts, and small island developing States.
4. Funding
The Global Oceans NGO Directory has been undertaken and funded within the
framework of GEF/MSP: Fostering a Global Dialogue on Oceans, Coasts, and SIDS,
and on Freshwater-Coastal-Marine Interlinkages, and with additional resources from the
Gerard J. Mangone Center for Marine Policy, University of Delaware, College of Marine
and Earth Studies.

Alliance for Zero Extinction
http://www.zeroextinction.org/index.htm
The Alliance for Zero Extinction is an initiative led by a group of biodiversity conservation organizations
to identify and protect the last remaining habitats for the world’s most endangered species. The Alliance
aims to stem species extinctions, beginning with terrestrial vertebrates whose populations and distributions
are best known, and including other species as soon as sufficient information becomes available to assess
their threat level. By starting with the species that are most endangered, the Alliance aims to create a front
line of defence against extinction that will hold until broader scale conservation efforts can restore
sufficient habitat to enable populations to rebound.

critical habitat areas and should provide necessary limitations on use of these areas, through, inter alia,
designation of protected areas. Priority should be accorded, as appropriate, to: a. Coral reef ecosystems; b.
Estuaries; c. Temperate and tropical wetlands, including mangroves; d. Seagrass beds; e. Other spawning
and nursery areas."

Society for Environmental Exploration and Frontier (SEE and

Frontier)
www.frontier.ac.uk/index.php
The Society for Environmental Exploration was established in 1989 as a non-profit conservation non-
governmental organization dedicated to safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Since its
inception, SEE has hosted a myriad of global conservation projects under the banner name of Frontier.
Frontier projects entail rigorous, “hands-on” fieldwork benefiting endangered tropical wildlife and their
ecosystems and directly assisting developing countries rich in biodiversity but poor in the capacity to
manage natural resources. Frontier projects advance field research and implement projects that will help
conserve biodiversity and help develop sustainable livelihoods. Relationships overseas are consolidated
through formal partnerships with host country institutions, often ministries, universities, and research
institutions. Locally, the organization is known as Frontier-Cambodia, Frontier-Madagascar, Frontier-
Nicaragua and Frontier-Tanzania.

Green Front of Iran (GFI) was established in 1989 by four medical students in Tehran. After its initial
establishment, GFI members started negotiation with many scholars, university professors, and
distinguished individuals in order to use their experiences to guide the way for future activities. This led to
the point where GFI considered public awareness on environmental issues as its first and primary goal and
started several programs toward this objective. Some examples of GFI activities include: peak cleanups in
World Mountain Day, cleanup of Anzali wetland, Caspian Sea cleanup campaign, various forestation
ceremonies, cleanup of banks of rivers, warnings against over-consumption of water, recycling projects,
face-to-face training, organization of bicycling programs, and environmental assessment of industrial
complexes.

committed towards these program components. The demonstration project has identified a number of
amenity areas in the region of significant ecological and economic value, and through a process of training
and capacity building it is envisioned that these sites will serve as examples of how similar areas can be
better managed by strengthening collaboration between governments and civil society organizations.
