Oceans Without Borders (OWB) is an initiative which strives to catalyse positive change across our ocean footprint, through the care of the ocean, marine wildlife, and people. OWB is a partnership between andBeyond and Wild Impact, responding to the fact that globally, our oceans are being devastated by human activity. OWB is active in two extremely valuable and biodiverse seascapes off the East coast of Africa – namely the Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique, and Mnemba Island Marine Conservation Area in Tanzania – Zanzibar. Within the Mnemba Island seascape, the Oceans Without Borders team works with key local stakeholders and partners to support the development of a community-based conservation model that integrates research, monitoring, and community development to underwrite the restoration and protection of the Mnemba Island marine ecosystems and empower thriving coastal communities, to support a sustainable blue economy in Zanzibar. The OWB team operate from Mnemba Island, where they are embedded in the day-to-day operations of andBeyond Mnemba Island Lodge.
