Sewing nets:
of fishing, of knowledge, and of people.

We start by taking nets out of the sea.
Now, we create networks that connect knowledge, territories, and possible futures.

What do we do?

Learn about our actions

Global Network

We are one of the Brazilian initiatives recognized by the UN for the Ocean Decade. By integrating networks like the Global Ghost Gear Initiative, we connect the knowledge of traditional Caiçara communities to the global fight for healthier oceans.

Networks across the ocean

We carry out actions to remove ghost nets from the oceans with the support of global partners, reducing marine pollution and protecting coastal ecosystems.

Impact networks

We replicate our award-winning social technology from the Banco do Brasil Foundation for new collectives on the Costa Verde: Praia do Sono, Ponta Negra (Paraty), and Aventureiro (Ilha Grande).

Partnerships

In partnership with Somos Natureza, an NGO also on Ilha Grande, we conduct environmental education, beach cleanups, and on-site recycling with Precious Plastic machines.

Ocean culture

We promote marine conservation through educational programs, innovation, and concrete actions to combat pollution in coastal ecosystems.

Traditional knowledge

Alongside fishermen, net makers, and their families, we have built pathways for empowerment, income generation, and the appreciation of traditional knowledge from those whose way of life is the sea.
