Mission
OneReefs mission is to ensure healthy ocean ecosystems and thriving coastal communities across the Pacific.
Program accomplishments
- OneReef has 3 main priorities: 1) invest in place-based stewardship in Micronesia by helping communities manage marine protected areas, restore mangroves, strengthen fisheries management, empower women, invest in youth learning traditional ocean knowledge, and monitor the health of coastal ecosystems;2) invest in people by training early-career environmental leaders in conservation practice, nonprofit management, project development, budgeting, reporting, grant writing, communications, and leadership skills; 3) invest in institutional capacity by supporting government agencies and local organizations with infrastructure, equipment, training, and connections to sustainable conservation financing. In 2025, OneReef delivered measurable impact at scale across the Pacific. The organization supported 59 communities across 7 countries, helping safeguard approximately 918,627 acres of marine areas and reaching more than 91,559 people directly and indirectly. Through the MiCOAST initiative and related programs, over 600 individuals were directly engaged in activities such as fisheries management, with 50 staff from partner organizations trained in gender equity and social inclusion, and 11 farmers trained in mariculture producing more than 5,000 rabbitfish. OneReef also strengthened on-the-ground capacity through improved ranger safety and operations, infrastructure investments such as patrol vessels and station upgrades, and expanded youth engagement and community outreach programs. In parallel, ecological monitoring and long-term studies showed significant gains in reef health, including doubling of fish abundance in Pohnpei over a 10 year period, demonstrating tangible progress toward improved ocean health and human well-being.Expenses $2,294,104 · grants $1,560
