Our Story

Oceanidad was founded to promote marine conservation through a holistic approach – from inner health to the health of our planet. Our director, Jenny, who has lived in Colombia for 6 years and follows her passion for whale and dolphin research on the Pacific coast, knows from personal experience how the ocean strengthens one's well-being and vice versa. This insight inspired her to establish Oceanidad. Together with her dedicated team she brings this vision to life.

Oceanidad´s Three Concepts

Our work is guided by three interwoven concepts: One Health, One Planet, One Conciousness. They shape every project and initiative we undertake, thereby contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water):

One Health

Inspired by the WHO’s vision, this concept emphasizes the connection between human health, animal health, and the health of the environment.
One Planet

Environmental protection is at the heart of everything we do. From climate change to biodiversity conservation, we focus on the intricate connections that sustain life on Earth.
One Conciousness

This concept emphasizes the social dimension, bringing mindfulness, equality, and education to the forefront. By fostering awareness and empowering community members we create space for inner growth and collective well-being.

At Oceanidad, we believe in the power of collaboration. By partnering with us, you gain access to a unique opportunity to support marine conservation efforts in one of the world's most biodiverse regions, the Colombian Pacific Coast.

With a professional team led by a German PhD marine biologist, we bring years of expertise in marine research and conservation, and we have strong ties to local communities and authorities.

Our partners and sponsors will benefit from our multilingual team (Spanish, English, German), mindful practices and impactful scientific research (e.g. microbiomes of marine (mega)- fauna).

We are open to building partnerships with individuals, environmental organizations, research institutions, and corporations with corporate responsibility. If you're interested in joining us on this exciting journey, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
