Emerging conservation leaders, particularly in the developing world, lack the support and capacity to be truly successful in advancing ocean health. In addition, marine conservation is missing out on tremendous energy and innovative ideas due to a lack of diversity and funding.

The AWdF is cultivating the next generation of ocean advocates and scientists by preparing, empowering, and convening a global network of conservation leaders.

Our Strategy​

1. Develop a network of marine conservation leaders  through the Atlantic Ocean Cetacean Network.
   
2. Support global conservation entrepreneurs.
   
3. Leverage the AWdF's educational programmes to create a pipeline for the next generation of conservationists.
   
4. Build and mobilise a broad constituency including the public, industry groups, environmental managers and policymakers, corporate partners, certification bodies, scientists, and many others toward conservation action.
