Ensuring a brighter future for our eco-systems, our food pro­duc­tion, and our children

The world’s oceans are being heav­ily pol­luted, as well as being depleted of fish and other valu­able human food resources. At the same time, our land-based envi­ron­ment and food-chain resources are suf­fer­ing major dam­age from pol­lu­tion, along with the dev­as­tat­ing effects of other eco­log­i­cal damage.

The Marine Foun­da­tion has been estab­lished to guar­an­tee that future gen­er­a­tions will inherit a viable planet. This will be accom­plished by spon­sor­ing and sup­port­ing imme­di­ate solu­tions to (eth­i­cal) food pro­duc­tion and to the res­cu­ing of the marine and land-based ecologies. To per­pet­u­ate these imme­di­ate solu­tions on a long-term basis, the chil­dren of the world will be given free edu­ca­tion that will empower them to carry on with this work as they grow to adult­hood. This spon­sored edu­ca­tion will be deliv­ered in var­i­ous forms, including:

1. A pro­gram of Marine Camps, which chil­dren can attend reg­u­larly, where they will learn about marine and land-based fauna and flora; how to pro­tect their envi­ron­ment and how to grow food from these valu­able resources. Many of these camps will grow into full-fledged edu­ca­tion facil­i­ties pro­vid­ing free edu­ca­tion to under-privileged children.
2. The sup­port of orphans around the world, by cre­at­ing imme­di­ate care for those now in dan­ger and long-term care by creating per­ma­nent homes for them with fam­i­ly-like administrative setup system, guiding their future whilst teaching them how to pro­tect and utilize our valu­able eco-systems.

The Marine Camps will also be the research facil­i­ties that will seek new ways to pro­tect the envi­ron­ment and more effec­tive ways of pro­duc­ing food. This will include new meth­ods of fish farm­ing as well as new ways of eco­nom­i­cally pro­duc­ing land-based food in large quantities. Actual food pro­duc­tion will also be con­ducted from these same facil­i­ties, or from nearby local farms. In this way the Marine Foun­da­tion will sup­port the food require­ments of local pop­u­la­tions and may even gen­er­ate export rev­enues for the coun­tries concerned. The Marine Foun­da­tion would gen­er­ate many jobs across the world, because there would be an imme­di­ate need to sus­tain and expand exist­ing food pro­duc­tion enter­prises that already sup­port the main cause. Also, the Marine Camps them­selves will need to be built on all con­ti­nents. This will gen­er­ate jobs in the plan­ning, con­struc­tion and staffing (admin­is­tra­tive, edu­ca­tional and sci­en­tific) of these facilities. In summary, the Marine Foun­da­tion is being set up to address the world wide need for solu­tions to the destruc­tion of our eco-systems, the gen­er­a­tion of sus­tain­able (eth­i­cal) food pro­duc­tion and the cre­ation of mean­ing­ful jobs.

Marine Foundation Full Funding Submission For Large Project

“Ensuring a brighter future for our eco-systems, our food production, and our children.”

The Situation

“The world’s oceans are being heavily polluted, as well as being depleted of fish and other valuable human food resources. At the same time, our land-based environment and food-chain resources are suffering major damage from pollution, along with the devastating effects of other ecological damage.”

The Present

Right now, our worldwide food supplies, both land-based and ocean-based, are in danger. We need to take immediate action to ensure that there will actually BE a future for ourselves and the future generations of planet Earth.

The Future

The people who could effectively handle these situations over time (the next generation) are, of course, the children of today. Unfortunately, they do not currently have easy access to the data that would help them to solve these problems. Many of them do not even have access to viable education. As they grow to adulthood and take over the world, they need to be educated and empowered to solve these problems in the world they inherit.

The Data

The Marine Foundation has been created with a view to ensuring that future generations are secured through a present time ecological focus and through sponsored education of our children. As we progress towards a better future, the Marine Foundation has immediate programs that will arrest the detrimental environmental issues (with a focus on food production) and prevent the situation from getting any worse. The long-term intention of the Marine Foundation is to produce well-educated children and well-cared-for orphans (supported by external sponsorships and donations), who understand and are willing to contribute to the preservation and protection of the world’s ecology. At the same time, the foundation needs to promote good clean food production, farming projects and eco-action plans that will arrest the immediate decline we are experiencing. The initial approach will be to set up “Marine Camps” in suitable pristine coastal locations, such as Palau (Micronesia), Fiji, Tahiti, Great Barrier Reef, Tonga, Seychelles, Mauritius and other safe areas (to be chosen as the demand grows).

A – Typical Marine Camp will be rustically built, based on ecologically sound (green) technology. There will be suitable accommodation facilities for staff, children, and adults that will reflect the local culture of each location.

B – Research Station will be included in each camp, where research into food production, green energy and aqua farming (and many other eco-system solutions) can be looked into. These stations are where better food and eco-solutions will be developed, as well as supporting the eco-friendly education that the camps deliver.

There will also be fully functional organic farming projects included as a part of each camp’s infrastructure, as well fully functional aqua-farming facilities. These food production units would be designed to produce revenue for the Marine Foundation and may well be set up as joint ventures with existing local farmers (to promote goodwill). In this way, each camp will produce food, both from the sea and land, which will be sold locally and in some cases made available for export. This will support the economy of the area where the camp is located, providing food and employment for local people. These camps would receive children for 2-week periods, supervised by responsible adults who would manage their education in the areas that will empower these children to take responsibility for their environments as they grow up. The focus will also be on making the learning experience fun for all. These camps will also be open to paying adults and corporate/community team building groups. This will also assist the camps to become more financially independent. In many cases, these services can be grown to full-fledged convention facilities for even higher revenue generation – all with a focus on eco-friendly solutions. Camp participants (young and old) will learn about correcting the ecological mistakes of the past. They will also learn how to improve food production, taking with them into the future the certainty that the world will be a better place in which to live; because of their efforts. The focus will be on making these Marine Camps available to any and all children on a sponsored basis. None of them will incur any costs in order to participate. In this way, we ensure that all children will have the opportunity to attend because the cost will not be a factor for them or their families. Sponsorships for children’s participation will be from donations received from individuals, corporations and other entities that have an interest in securing the ecological future of our planet via the education and empowerment of the next generation. These camps will be available to all those children who are currently attending schools in their own countries, so their attendance at Marine Camps would be a vacation learning activity; an alternative to the “summer camps” that some schools offer their students (but not limited to only the summer vacation time). The camps will also be made available outside vacation times for those schools that wish to include the Marine Camps as a part of their official curriculum. They could send classes of their children to Marine Camps, say, once a year; as part of the total education program that they (the schools) are offering their students. A particular focus will be placed on orphans, especially those who have lost their parents through natural disasters, like the recent tsunami in Japan. In the case of orphans, it is the intention of the Marine Foundation to set up schools that will deliver full-time education for orphans and other underprivileged children. These schools will deliver standard education, covering the full curriculum necessary to give the students a recognized education experience, but with the inclusion of all of the ecological classes that are covered in the regular Marine Camps.

If we were to paint a picture of the way things would look, should the Marine Foundation reach its ultimate operational status, it would probably look something like this:

Tens of thousands of Marine Camps for children flourishing world-wide with ample funds being donated by sponsors to ensure the future success of all of the free education that the Marine Foundation delivers.

Hundreds of thousands of adults visiting the camps as individuals, volunteers, community groups and corporate groups; all learning the importance of the eco-system.

More sponsors lined up wanting to donate funds to Marine Foundation programs than there are programs to donate to.

The world’s oceans and their life-forms being rescued from past ecological damage and negligence and the land-based food chain being restored to pristine conditions – both at ever-increasing rates.

Millions of children and adults alike, gaining extensive knowledge, of both marine and land-based flora and fauna, so they understand how to preserve and protect the world’s ecology as a part of the immediate future.

Millions of children receiving a broad, fundamental, full-time (traditional) education that would not have been possible had the Marine Foundation not located and provided the sponsorships to fund this.

The content of all Marine Foundation education programs being recognized by regular education bodies and governmental organizations so that scholarships are offered to students to include Marine Camps and other Marine Foundation programs as part of their ongoing education.

Effective sponsorship of orphanages so that the orphans have the same opportunities as private-school students do, and can, therefore, gain a full and rounded education.

Rapid deployment of support for children during devastating natural disasters like earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, etc, so that all children affected are cared for quickly and effectively.

Effective research of solutions to both ocean and land-based food production is carried out and implemented so as to counteract the negative impacts on our environment today.

Hundreds and thousands of land and sea farms and reserves being created and operating at full tilt so that the world is not short of vital organic healthy foodstuff.

That’s an “ideal” description of things, of course. It does, however, give a good description of how the Marine Foundation would look when it was fully established and operating well. And we intend to get close to this ideal, of course.

The Solution

In essence, the Marine Foundation is going to provide three key elements:

1 – The generation of many jobs on all continents of the world.


This would include supporting the infrastructure and operation of thousands of Marine Camps, together with carrying out the research involved in solving the food production problems, both short-term, and long-term. As one can see there are a number of job creation opportunities within the Marine Foundation operations. These job opportunities include:

1. Marine Foundation executives (World Wide).
2. Marine Foundation (internal Staff).
3. Architects (to design the camps).
4. Scientists and Ecologists (to carry out the research).
5. Land Farmers (to run the farms).
6. Aqua Farmers (to run the aquafarms)
7. Camp administration staff.
8. Food Packing and Distribution staff.
9. Teachers and Trainers.

And many, many more…

2 – Humanitarian achievements in the areas of underprivileged and orphaned children. This will involve seeking out the location of orphans around the world and set the wheels in motion to provide proper family care for all of them over time. This “care” would include finding homes for them and providing a full and meaningful education. We would be setting the future for such children who could and would contribute to a better eco-world.

3 – Ecological results that will enhance the flora, fauna and the vital food chains of both land-based and ocean-based resources.

It is critical that we identify effective ways of enhancing the protection of these vital resources, so as to sustain and greatly improve the planet’s food production capabilities. These activities will have an immediate focus to bring in results for current populations. They will also provide the data and the learning experience for the children and adults we educate that will be passed on to future generations. The very first statement in this submission sums up the ecological situation that we are currently facing: So it is repeated here.

“The world’s oceans are being heavily polluted, as well as being depleted of fish and other valuable human food resources. At the same time, our land-based environment and food-chain resources are suffering major damage from pollution, along with the devastating effects of other ecological damage.”

The problems outlined here can be addressed on a long-term basis by empowering and educating the next generation of humans – the children of the world – as described above. In the short-to-medium term, we need to support existing (ethical) food production research programs that are currently working on improving solutions here. We also need to initiate new programs that will greatly increase the rate of success of appropriate food generation. By working now on these things, we not only create the technology that will empower the next generation to handle these areas, but we also address the immediate food supply problems that we face. If our children can be pointed in the right direction to address these problems over the long haul, by educating them properly, we will ensure that our future generations will be able to manage their lives so that they will have a viable planet to work with. If our immediate food production research and activities can be supported and enhanced, we will guarantee that there will be a viable planetary infrastructure for the next generation to actually inherit. To accomplish all of this, an initial injection of donated funds is necessary to set up the basic infrastructure and begin to deliver the first of the Marine Camps and establish the viable food production programs and eco-action plans. As this grows and becomes recognized by governments and educational bodies around the world, further sponsorship donations should become easier, as there will be a track record to present to potential donors. The other areas of initial activity will include the support of existing (ethical) food production programs and the initiation of new endeavors in this area. These activities will address the vital need for both short and long-term food production – both land and ocean-based. These food production facilities will begin to produce profitable products that can be sold to generate more income for the foundation, as well as providing the blueprint for duplicating the successful production of such food. Specifically, the setup funds would include the following components:

• The appointment and funding of the senior executive strata of the Marine Foundation.
• Establishment of International Administrative Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.
• Establishment of International Operational Headquarters in Sydney, Australia.
• Establishment of International Development and Training Centre in Eden, Australia.
• It is in Eden that we intend building our first camp so that it serves as an International training base and a model for all the other camps to come.Funding of the initial Marine Camps at safe locations.
• Until camps are built we intend using existing resort/hotel facilities until he marine camps are built.
• Establishment and procurement of new Marine Camp locations where the Marine Foundation owns/leases the infrastructure – i.e. (permanent marine camp locations).
• Establishment of Continental Headquarters in North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia, with multiple HQ operations on each continent, as appropriate (e.g. Eastern USA, Western USA).
• The identification and financial support of existing food-generation programs (on both land and sea) that are considered ethical and effective.
• The initiation of new food generation programs that will have a short and long-term impact on the food production on this planet.
• Immediate research and development programs needed to address the most critical issues to hand re the ocean and land ecosystems.
• Immediate action plans to immediately address the most serious of eco-problems that have an urgent need for attention.
