ABOUT US
Aceh Aquatic Youth emerges as a new voice for ocean protection at the western tip of Indonesia. Established in 2024, we are a youth-led community of divers, educators, and ocean enthusiasts united by a shared vision of a sustainable marine future for Acen.
Born from the spirit of young people determined to safeguard Aceh s extraordinary marine heritage, we focus on education-based approaches and direct action.
We lead awareness campaigns, deliver conservation training, and engage in ecosystem monitoring and rehabilitation efforts In collaboration with coastal communities, schools, and local partners such as dive shops and environmental NGOs, we are building a grassroots movement to protect coral reefs, seagrass beds, and other vital marine habitats. Through hands-on programs, we also empower young generations to become future stewards of the sea. Though still young, Aceh Aquatic Youth has already been involved in coral reef mapping initiatives and marine life rescue campaigns. We believe that small steps taken together can create a lasting impact for the preservation of Aceh's oceans.
