Welcome to the Marine Education Trust website

The Marine Education Trust (MET) offers a fresh approach to environmental education through three core principles:

bullet Improving understanding of the marine environment is key to promoting its conservation.
bullet Engaging young people through involvement in challenging marine-based activities builds confidence and life skills.
bullet Educated and informed stakeholders will make the right choices about the sustainable development of their own marine resources.

We believe that a better understanding of their local coasts and seas leads people to work to protect these environments, and so improving their awareness of, and involvement with,  the oceans is vital to effective conservation messages.

Hand in hand with this learning, we also seek to address social issues amongst young people by using the sea as a tool for capturing their interest, building confidence and developing life skills.

Lastly, we aid the development of existing conservation NGOs by providing training and networking opportunities for environmental educators, and helping other staff members gain the experience and qualifications they need to help their organisations move forward.

'The reason I love the sea I cannot explain - it's physical. When you dive you begin to feel like an angel. It's a liberation of your weight'.
