As the summer season kicks off, incredible efforts are underway to protect wildlife and the oceans they call home. From education and field missions to restoration projects and public engagement, this past month has been filled with meaningful action. Here's a glimpse of what your support made possible in June. 🪸🐠
Shares Knowledge Across Borders
Ocean Gardener x ClubOcean®
June was a busy month for Ocean Gardener, who trained 9 new Indonesian marine biologists and planted over 2,500 corals around Bali. They also launched a groundbreaking new training course focused on Acropora corals, the first of its kind in the world, strengthening their mission to protect and restore coral reefs through education and hands-on conservation. 🪸☀️

Riding the Wave of Shark Conservation
Shark Guardian x ClubOcean®
In June, Shark Guardian focused on strengthening knowledge and engagement around shark conservation. As the migration of basking sharks begins in UK waters, typically from June to September, the organization is ramping up educational campaigns to raise awareness about these gentle giants and the critical role they play in marine ecosystems. Their ongoing work includes delivering school presentations, dive center talks, and community workshops to ensure sustainable interactions and protect vulnerable shark species worldwide. By combining scientific insight with public outreach, Shark Guardian continues to turn curiosity into action, empowering more people to join the fight for our oceans. 💙🏝️

Beach Cleans Up After the Sunset
R.O.L.E Foundation x ClubOcean®
On June 13th, 2025, the R.O.L.E. Foundation, sponsored by Club Ocean, organised a beach cleanup at Tanjung Benoa Beach with 50 participants, including staff, Bali WISE students, SD 2 Tanjung Benoa students and teachers, and volunteers. In just one hour, they collected 347.97 kg of waste, mainly residue (52.3%) and hard plastics (16.9%). The waste will be managed responsibly through Eco Bali, the waste bank, and landfill for residue. By combining environmental action with education, R.O.L.E. Foundation continues to protect Bali’s coastlines and inspire local communities. 🌊♻️

Kâhin’s Rescue and Ongoing Work
Dekafok x ClubOcean®
Last month, our team rescued an injured sea turtle named Kâhin, found 150 km away with deep propeller wounds exposing its organs. After nine days of intensive treatment by our veterinarians and volunteers, Kâhin was healthy enough to return to the sea, as we never keep turtles in captivity for tourism. We continue our routine cleanups, worked with local officials on a marine pollution action plan, and recorded over 500 nests this nesting season. This rescue reminded us how crucial a dedicated sea turtle ambulance is to saving lives like Kâhin’s.🐢🌊

In June, Morigenos continued their regular monitoring of bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Trieste and welcomed two researchers from King’s College London to join their fieldwork. They also launched a new awareness campaign, in collaboration with Slovenia’s Maritime Administration, to promote respectful behavior at sea. To amplify their message, the team took part in various talk shows and interviews, helping spread the word about marine conservation. 🐬📚
