TCEF First Gala in Çeşme

On the evening of our “Clean Çeşme Clean Sea” gala — organised in collaboration with the Turquoise Coast Environment Fund and TÜDAV (Turkish Marine Research Foundation) — we gathered not just around a table, but around a shared commitment to the future of our seas. 💙

Held for the first time in Türkiye, this special fundraising night marked a meaningful step toward cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable coastlines. The event was filled with powerful stories, inspiring conversations, and new collaborations that brought to life a shared vision for marine conservation.

More than just a gala, it was a collective act of care — a reminder that our seas are vital not only for people, but for the entire ecosystem.

The support we received that night is already being transformed into real, tangible action to protect our marine environments. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in person or supported from afar.

Every step we take together today brings new hope for the seas of tomorrow.
