The Skies Are Soaked...
Emissions reductions alone are not enough to solve climate change. Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is critical to protecting ocean health.
We believe that planting trees and protecting ecosystems is the most effective and efficient natural way to sequester (store) CO2.
'Wiping-out’ your climate impact
What does it mean?
SeaTrees works directly with high-quality reforestation and forest protection projects around the world. Each of these projects sequester carbon, while also providing significant social and ecosystem benefits.
Put simply, you’re not just offsetting your carbon footprint, you’re having a positive impact on the ocean - #OceanPositive

With your support ($1 per tree planted) - we work with local communities in Marereni, Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.
This project restores and protects 640 hectares of highly degraded mangrove forest within Kilifi County in Kenya. With the help of project partners COBEC (Community Based Environmental Conservation) and the local community, SeaTrees will support the planting ofover 775,000 mangrove treesat our new project site in Kenya. Learn more about this project in our new film: Salt Cure.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Creates over 600 jobs for the local community.
Ensures 40% of these jobs are held by women.
Increases access to healthcare and food.
Provides training to local villagers to manage mangrove nurseries.
Protects local communities from storm surges and sea-level rise.
Enhances fishing activities and resources.
You can also sign up for a SeaTrees Planting Subscription.Think about a SeaTrees subscription as a recurring donation - you can automatically plant a mangrove each month. Payments will be automatically charged on a monthly basis. No minimums or obligations – you can modify, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time!

Plant Mangrove SeaTrees in Baja
Regular price
$10.00
With your support ($2 per tree planted) - we work with our project partners WILDCOAST to plant 100,000 mangrove trees across 25 acres of mangrove habitat with the help of the local community members in the El Datil region of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja, Mexico.
This project provides living-wage employment and training opportunities for the local community, empowers gender equity, protects the area from increased climate change impacts, and safeguards critical habitats for several vulnerable species. At the heart of this project is a local group of women, “Mujeres de El Dátil,” who were trained in 2019 by WILDCOAST on mangroves environmental services, seedlings collection and planting techniques, as well as monitoring and maintenance of restored sites.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Provides living-wage employment to the local community.
Improves the livelihoods of 250+ inhabitants of El Dátil.
Trains 11+ women in project management and monitoring.
Protects local areas and communities from sea-level rise and increased storm surges.
Safeguards critical gray whale nursery habitat.

Restore the Watershed in Cardiff
Regular price
$20.00
With your support we are working alongside Nature Collective to restore a portion of the watershed in Cardiff California, in the West Basin of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve near the inlet. This project is one of the most extensive wetland restorations in California.This salt marsh serves as a vital habitat for a variety of wildlife species and as one of the most extensive wetland restorations in California, restoration work is crucial to eliminate and manage invasive plant species, while reintroducing native species to the lagoon.

Restore Kelp Forests in Australia
Regular price
$12.50
With your support - we work with Operation Crayweed and Sydney Insitute of Marine Science to restore the lost kelp forests along the South Bondi subtidal rocky reef in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Crayweed is among the most important ecosystems on the planet, providing critical food and habitat for hundreds of species. These vast underwater forests support coastal food webs, sequester immense amounts of atmospheric carbon, produce oxygen for marine life, and support unique coastal biodiversity, which is not supported by any other seaweed species.
Each sq-ft of crayweed you restore helps by:
bringing back a critical underwater forest habitat
contributing to the recovery of economically important species like abalone and crayfish
sequestering atmospheric carbon
improving water quality
reestablishing coastal food webs
protecting coastal communities by stabilizing the coast and reducing wave action

Restore Kelp Forests in Portugal
Regular price
$4.00
With your support - we work with SeaForester to restore the kelp forests in Cascais, Portugal. We have made an early stage investment in the development of the green gravel technique for doing kelp forest restoration off the shallow coast of Cascais, Portugal. This kelp forest restoration project begins with the deployment of 25,000 stones over 27,000 sq-ft of kelp forest
What are stones? Green gravel stones refer to a unique technique employed in the restoration of kelp forests. This technique involves the seeding of small stones with seaweed spores, nurturing them on land in specialized nurseries, and deploying them in the sea. The process, supported by your donation, includes the growth of seaweed on these stones, which are then scattered from a boat without the need for divers or technical equipment. This scalable and cost-effective seaforestation solution is aimed at rejuvenating the kelp forests.
Click here for more information on the project you're supporting.
Over the past three to four decades, the once plentiful kelp forests along the Cascais coastline have largely disappeared. Initially widespread along all rocky shores in Portugal, these kelp forests have undergone a substantial reduction primarily attributed to factors such as deteriorating water quality, adverse fishing effects, pollution, and coastal runoff.
Kelp decline in Portugal has led to a decrease in biodiversity, fewer fish, less carbon sequestration, and poorer water quality. The adverse effects of this decline are particularly impactful on local communities that depend on these habitats for both subsistence and various economic activities.
Today, pollution levels and water quality have improved due to better wastewater treatment and limitations on fishing equipment, yet seaweed has failed to recolonize much of the available habitat, and specific restoration actions to re-seed reefs are urgently needed. Now that conditions are stable for kelp regrowth, we will be implementing innovative seaforestation techniques with project partners SeaForester.
