The Antinea Foundation is a non-profit organisation in Switzerland.

The foundation's mission is the conservation of the oceans via three main programs:

Supporting scientific and conservation organisations in their work
Raising public awareness and media attention to marine conservation issues
Giving members of the Foundation the opportunity to become involved in projects on board its expedition sailing boat as eco-volunteers

The Foundation’s projects are articulated around its flagship: the sailing boat “Fleur de Passion” which will circumnavigate the world over the next decade, exploring its most important and threatened marine regions as identified by the WWF’s Global 200 project.

To carry out its mission the Foundation is creating a partnership network of leading organisations in the scientific, conservation, eco-tourism and media fields. The Foundation acts as a supporting and strengthening element, not only assembling skills and know-how but also contributing its resources to the particular mission of each of its partners and communicating the underlying conservation issues to a wider public.
