Ocean Climate Advocacy
Through digital campaigns, workshops, and community dialogue, we raise awareness on climate change and its impact on oceans. We empower youth to become vocal advocates for environmental protection and sustainable development.

Nature Artivism & Outreach
We blend creativity with activism through photography, storytelling, and community outreach. By using art and education, we inspire emotional connections to the ocean and promote responsible environmental stewardship.
Who We Are and Why We Exist
Founded in Cameroon, BRIDGES was born from the lived experience of limited access to environmental education and opportunities in ocean sciences. We work to bridge these gaps by bringing knowledge, mentorship, creativity, and sustainable solutions directly into classrooms and communities.
