The YouSea Institute (Zavod YouSea) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of marine biodiversity with a particular focus on the Slovenian sea and Northern Adriatic. The Institute is composed of marine experts, researchers, educators and creators who share a strong commitment to protecting the marine environment and promoting sustainable use of marine resources. YouSea operates at the intersection of science, community engagement and sustainable development. Its mission is to increase understanding of marine ecosystems, promote responsible interaction with marine environments and create long-term solutions that enable the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. One of the Institute’s flagship project is the Sea Oasis Piran (Morska oaza Piran), the first underwater structures of its kind in the Slovenian sea that support integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), field research and biodiversity restoration. The Sea Oasis Piran serves as a pilot site and experimentation, field research and ecosystem restoration. Alongside this core project, YouSea develops the Blue Schools Programme in Slovenia educational programmes, art-based outreach, sustainable educational tourism and collaborative projects with the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. We are willing to be a project partner in topics like ocean literacy, capacity building, marine aquaculture and experimental projects at sea.
