Our mission

The MARE Foundation was founded in 2016 and has held the status of a public benefit organization in Poland since 2018.

Our primary mission is to protect marine ecosystems by striving for social and political change.

We strive for a future in which society is environmentally sensitive and aware, and lives in harmony with the seas and oceans.
For a future in which the seas and oceans are teeming with life and are not constantly exposed to the negative impacts of human activity.
Because our future and that of future generations depend on the future of the seas and oceans, which constitute over 70% of our planet.

The MARE Foundation is the only non-governmental organization in Poland whose activities focus exclusively
on the protection of marine ecosystems, 
with particular emphasis on protecting the ecosystem of our native Baltic Sea.

In the near future the MARE Foundation plans to engage in projects that extend beyond the Baltic.
We believe that solutions fit for the Baltic can contribute to a more effective protection of valuable species and marine areas in other parts of our planet. Therefore, one of the main goals of the Foundation is to promote these solutions and assistance in their implementation in other regions. More information on the goals of the Foundation can be found in its Statute.
