Values

Our food system must enable equitable access to healthy, delicious food for all. It is urgent to work towards eliminating food inequalities and strengthening community resilience and food sovereignty. We support the shift towards plant-based diets as a means of achieving equitable resource sharing and sustainable modes of production that respect the planet and all living beings.

Effectiveness

Seastemik's approach is both empathetic and rational. It draws on empirical evidence to identify priority problems and implement effective, systemic solutions, in order to bring about meaningful transformative change.

How we work is as crucial as the issues we act on. We are committed to embodying our values and continuously improving our governance and management practices by nurturing learning, ongoing reflection and horizontal dialogue.

We extend equal moral consideration to all human beings and all animals, without hierarchy based on species.

Adaptability

Despite the ocean emergency, listening to and respecting the physical and emotional capacities of the Seastemik team is paramount, and we take care to adapt our efforts accordingly.

Integrity

Our work is guided by intellectual honesty, transparency and accountability. We are answerable for our actions and our inaction.

Joy in Advocacy

We seek to cultivate joy and lightness in our commitment as much as possible, so that we can continue to marvel at the Ocean and protect it with passion for a long time to come.

Independence

In order to maintain complete freedom of action and expression, we do not depend on any funding or partnership that could compromise our mission. We retain full autonomy over our messaging, positions and content.
