They are the ultimate commons, connected by the salty waters that flow around the globe – a fragile blue expanse that connects us all, and on which we are all intimately dependent.
But our oceans are increasingly threatened. Growing impacts and our dependence on our oceans requires us to join forces and forge meaningful collaborations that transcend borders, cultures, classes, and sectors. This intention to build alliances to catalyse positive change across our marine footprint, lies at the heart of Oceans Without Borders.
Our Story
A unique collaboration between &Beyond and Africa Foundation
Oceans Without Borders is a unique collaboration between &Beyond – a luxury travel company with its roots in conservation and experiential guest experiences, and Wild Impact (formerly Africa Foundation) – a non-profit organisation dedicated to working collaboratively with partner communities and key stakeholders to conserve the wild landscapes and seascapes in which they operate.
The Oceans Without Borders programme is currently dedicated to the marine conservation and island community development of Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago and Zanzibar’s Mnemba Island seascapes.
- Wild Impact works to upskill, uplift and empower communities near core conservation areas with the objective of enabling community-led development and conservation of those seascapes in which we operate.
- &Beyond is a pioneering, experiential travel company that offers forward-thinking, global travellers an exclusive experience of the world as it should be; a world that is in balance with itself. Formerly known as Conservation Corporation Africa (CC Africa), &Beyond has a long history of promoting conservation and sustainable community development through its care of land, wildlife, and people philosophy, and its over-arching mission to leave our world better than we found it.
