About Us

We support fishers and marine stakeholders in Timor-Leste, promoting sustainable practices and protecting marine ecosystems for coastal communities.

Recent biological surveys led by Conservation International have found Timor-Leste to possess some of the most biodiverse waters in the world. It's home to some 400 reef-building coral species, comparable to that of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Plus one-third of the world’s whales and dolphin species, as well as a population of endangered dugong can be seen close to shore. New species of fish, coral, orchids, gecko, and skink have been recently discovered, and much more remains to be explored.

A small boat is navigating through a large aquaculture farm in a body of turquoise water. The farm consists of numerous rectangular sections separated by lines, marked by floating buoys. The water appears calm, and the farm seems to span a vast area, indicating an organized and systematic setup for fish or shellfish farming.
