Seacology is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization headquartered in Berkeley, California, that works to preserve island ecosystems and cultures around the world. Founded in 1991, it began with the work of ethnobotanist Paul Alan Cox, who researched tropical plants and their medicinal value in the village of Falealupo in Samoa during the mid-1980s. When the villagers were pressured into selling logging rights to their rainforest in 1988 to build a new school, Cox and his wife offered to help secure funds for the new school in return for an agreement with the villagers to protect their forest. With the help of his friends and family, Cox secured the funds within six months, later earning him and the village chief, Fuiono Senio, the Goldman Environmental Prize for their efforts. Word

rdfs:comment	Seacology ist eine internationale Umweltschutzorganisation, die sich dem Schutz von Inseln und ihren besonderen Inselkulturen widmet. Die Organisation geht davon aus, dass Inseln eine besonders reiche Flora und Fauna aufweisen, die z. T. besonders bedroht sind, u. a. durch Einschleppung fremder Pflanzen- und Tierarten und durch den Meeresspiegelanstieg infolge der globalen Erwärmung. Paul Cox und der Bürgermeister von Falealupo (Samoa) Fuino Senio erhielten 1997 für ihr Engagement zum Schutz des Waldes von Falealupo den Goldman Environmental Prize.

Fundada em 1991, começou com o trabalho do etnobotânico Paulo Alan Cox, que pesquisava plantas tropicais e seu valor medicinal na aldeia de Falealupo, em Samoa, em meados da década de 1980. Quando os aldeões foram pressionados a vender o registo de direitos de floresta tropical , em 1988, para construir uma nova escola, Cox e sua mulher se ofereceram para ajudar a proteger os fundos para a nova escola em troca de um acordo com os moradores para proteger sua floresta.
