Get Involved

The South Sea Exclusive Foundation offers you the perfect opportunity to contribute in achieving the goals of the Foundation through several ways.

Make a donation

Donations are always very welcome. Prior to the implementation of a project, we conduct an efficiency-analysis. Hereby, we assure you your donation is well spent. If you consent with the goals of the Foundation and our projects, and desire to contribute, you can make a donation!

Plant a mangrove tree

For only €5 you can purchase a mangrove tree (with a minimum of 2 trees) that we will plant with our mangrove reforestation project.

Mangrove forests play an essential role in coastal ecosystems. They function as important nursery grounds for many fish and shrimp species, as well for spiny lobsters. In addition, mangroves produce good quality wood, basic ingredients for medicines and different fruits and seafood products such as oysters and several shells.

Purchasing mangrove trees is a perfect opportunity to compensate for your carbon emission and improve your ecological footprint! We will walk through the mud for you, and make sure your mangrove tree gets planted properly, providing your tree with the best opportunity for it’s survival, thus contributing to the restoration of the costal ecosystem.
