Save Philippine Seas began as an online platform in May 2011 as a response to a large-scale illegal wildlife trade case dubbed in the media as the “rape of the Philippine Seas.” What was meant to be a short-lived social media campaign continued to grow. It's been said the Philippines is worth dying for. We believe the Philippines is worth diving for. If there were a movie made about the Philippine seas, it should be called Crazy Rich Oceans. The Philippines has been described as the center of marine biodiversity — but also the center of marine adversity. Save Philippine Seas (SPS) aims to conserve coastal and marine resources by empowering seatizens for collective action and behavior change. We call ourselves, communities, and partners as "seatizens" to remind us that we are citizens of the sea. Vision: For the broader public to understand that our ocean is an integral part of our well-being, economy, heritage, and national identity. Mission: Empower seatizens towards environmental consciousness, leading to collective action and behavior change Our Guiding Principles CHANGE THE SYSTEM, NOT THE SYMPTOM We explore the root causes of marine conservation issues and focus on long-term impact by changing mindsets, attitudes, and practices. CALL IN. Instead of calling out and naming and shaming, we hold stakeholders accountable through productive and constructive dialogue. SCALE DEEP > SCALE WIDE We prioritize quality over quantity, and scaling deep over wide. SWEAT THE DETAILS. Attention to detail communicates honor and excellence. DON'T PREACH TO THE CHOIR— BUILD THE CHOIR We do not grow from sameness. We strive to reach and work with partners of all kinds so we do not exist in an echo chamber. TAKE PROBLEMS OF THE SEA SERIOUSLY, BUT WE DON'T TAKE OURSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY. Fun and humor are key to sustainability. Meet the Team SPS is run by a lean team of dedicated and passionate seatizens. Our core team consists of our Executive Director, Creative Director, Project Managers, Administrative and Dolfinance Officer, and Social Media Mola-Mola. Our number grows based on our program needs. We come from various backgrounds, united by our love for the seas and obsession with excellence and ocean-related puns.
