Our ocean is facing unprecedented challenges. Seas are warming, habitats are shifting and marine life is under increasing pressure. The ocean needs skilled, passionate marine biologists now more than ever. Yet, many barriers including financial pressures and limited access to research opportunities can prevent talented individuals from choosing and progressing in the field. Without investment, we risk losing the next generation of marine biologists when the ocean urgently needs them the most.

Through the MBA's Future Marine Biologist Programme, aspiring marine biologists will be supported regardless of their background or circumstance. This Christmas your donation will help turn barriers into breakthroughs by funding Student Travel Bursaries & Studentships, increasing access to fieldwork, research and training opportunities around the world, alongside leading scientists. The future of our ocean depends on those who will protect it, the marine biologists of tomorrow.
