Sachamama launched the communications campaign Healthy Oceans, Strong Communities to raise awareness about the importance of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), encourage community engagement in their protection, and highlight how oceans provide science-based solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises.
At the center of the campaign is the documentary Healthy Oceans, Strong Communities, produced by Sachamama Original Series, the organization’s documentary division. The film explores how Marine Protected Areas strengthen local economies through job creation, support food systems that reach household tables, promote community well-being, and underscore the importance of electing leaders committed to protecting our oceans.
Through the voices of experts, activists, and community members, the documentary highlights the benefits of MPAs while warning that weakening them puts coastal livelihoods, public trust in science, and long-term resilience at risk.
