Marine and ocean conservation volunteering offers the opportunity to protect some of the planet’s most fragile and biodiverse ecosystems. From coral reefs and mangrove forests to sea turtle nesting beaches and open-water research zones, marine environments play a vital role in maintaining global ecological balance.
Volunteering in marine conservation means contributing to hands-on field initiatives — from supporting coral reef restoration and marine biodiversity monitoring, to assisting with sea turtle protection and coastal ecosystem management projects. These programs are designed to safeguard vulnerable marine species while promoting long-term ocean sustainability.
At Travel Roots, we partner with trusted grassroots organisations around the world to ensure every marine and ocean conservation placement is ethical, structured, and genuinely impactful — providing meaningful experience in some of the world’s most ecologically important marine regions.
