Local Ocean Trust

We are a private, not for profit organisation committed to the protection of Kenya's marine environment. Our dream is to encourage people to look after their very own local ocean in order to create a chain of properly managed and conserved areas of ocean all over the world. Imagine if everyone looked after his or her own little patch of ocean! We monitor and protect the sea turtles of Watamu through various programmes namely, nest monitoring and protection, bycatch release, marine conservation education and community outreach and awareness.
