Help Us Represent the Mexican Caribbean

at the UN Ocean Decade!

Dear Ocean Advocates:

We are very excited to share that, for the second time, we have the opportunity to participate in the UN Ocean Decade Conference, this time taking place in Nice from June 9th to 13th. On this occasion, UNESCO will present a book in which we contributed a chapter about the work we do in Mexico. We are also preparing two events during the conference framework: one with an artistic approach at a gallery, and another focused on the local community, which will take place outdoors.

Afterward, we will travel to the city of Brest (also in France), where we have been accepted to present at the World Ocean Conference 2025 with a poster on “Engaging Communities in Conservation with Low-Cost Passive Acoustic Monitoring Sensors,” as well as a collaboration with UNESCO for the “Ocean Decade Manual For Non-Governmental Organizations.”

Why do we need your help?

Attending these events is a crucial step for our organization because it provides us with a platform to showcase our work, learn from experts, and strengthen our network. However, as a nonprofit, our resources are limited.
We are based in Cancun but fortunately, another project will take us to Spain, which significantly reduces our costs, but we still need to cover:

Transportation Madrid–Nice–Brest–Madrid
Accommodation for 7 nights in Nice
Accommodation for 6 nights in Brest
Accommodation for 2 nights in Madrid
Materials for the exhibition

How to support

Every contribution, large or small, will be used directly to fund our team’s transportation and lodging, as well as material costs for the conferences.

Your support brings us closer to our goal! 🌊

Thank you once again for supporting Ocean World of Sound!Together, we can amplify the voice of the ocean
