MarAlliance

MarAlliance is a non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas, with 17 employees. MarAlliance is dedicated to the conservation of threatened marine wildlife and their habitats. They achieve this through research, education, and community engagement. Focusing on species such as sharks, rays, sea turtles, and large predatory fish, they work to understand and mitigate threats from fisheries, development, and trade. A key aspect of their work involves monitoring threatened species in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and training local fishermen, students, and communities. This data is then transformed into outreach and educational programs, leading to conservation action, supportive legislation, and positive behavioral changes towards threatened species. MarAlliance can be reached through their website at maralliance.org.
