La Liga del Mar

What is it about?

Join Our Wave of Change

La Liga del Mar is more than just a volunteer program — it’s a dynamic movement dedicated to nurturing a community deeply connected to the ocean. Formed by diverse individuals of all ages from across Argentina, La Liga del Mar aims to create strong local bonds with the sea and foster a sense of belonging. We believe that by bringing the ocean closer to people, we can bridge the gap between knowledge and action, cultivating relationships that transcend geographical boundaries.

The ocean is the lifeline of the planet. It regulates climate, is home to countless species, and provides resources essential for human survival. Yet, its vastness and the life it supports face major threats from pollution, climate change, and unsustainable practices. It’s about making a difference—your efforts can help protect marine environments for future generations.

La Liga del Mar acts through two main activities—digital outreach and local engagement. We’ve set up these avenues to welcome diverse interests and skills, making sure there’s a meaningful way for everyone to get involved and make a difference.

Testimony

“La Liga del Mar is purely and simply a space for activism, where our main goal is to cultivate a community of individuals eager to mend our relationship with the sea. Often when “fighting” for the environment, it becomes clear that there is a lack of support for those concerned with these issues. Part of my job is to create a space where the foundation can offer this support, allowing people to meet, enhance ideas, and, when relevant, promote projects. We conduct activities remotely with volunteers from across Argentina. Additionally, I organize in-person activities in cities within the provinces where PEM operates, with a special focus on Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego."
