Join “One Light for the Oceans,” a dynamic campaign led by Caina Cadie, a research project from CIRAS, to protect our planet’s marine ecosystems. Guided by CIRAS’s transdisciplinary protocol for societal transformation, this initiative blends art and advocacy to raise awareness and fund conservation efforts, ensuring vibrant oceans for future generations. Your support creates lasting change, one wave at a time.
How It Works
Proceeds from Caina Cadie’s ocean-inspired artwork and merchandise sales fund critical marine conservation projects, including research, education, and on-the-ground efforts to combat pollution and protect marine life. Your membership—monthly or one-time—supports initiatives that preserve coral reefs, reduce plastic waste, and promote sustainable practices, aligning with CIRAS’s vision for systemic environmental solutions.
Impact
Your contribution helps safeguard oceans, which cover 70% of Earth and support millions of species. By addressing overfishing, plastic pollution, and habitat loss, the campaign fosters healthier marine ecosystems. Examples include:
- In the Great Barrier Reef, supported projects have restored 10% of damaged coral through replanting, protecting biodiversity for species like sea turtles.
- In Kenya’s coast, clean-up initiatives funded by donations removed 50 tons of plastic, preserving habitats for dolphins and fish. Your support drives systemic change, ensuring oceans thrive, as championed by CIRAS’s transdisciplinary approach.
Membership Benefits
As a “One Light for the Oceans” member, you’ll receive:
- Exclusive Updates: Insights from Caina Cadie on conservation progress and project impacts, showcasing your role in change.

Why It Matters
Oceans face threats from 8 million tons of plastic pollution annually and overfishing that depletes 33% of fish stocks. “One Light for the Oceans,” rooted in CIRAS’s framework, protects marine life and promotes sustainability. For example, in the Pacific, funded programs have reduced illegal fishing by 20%, saving species like manta rays. Your involvement creates a ripple effect for healthier seas.
