CAMEROON
ThinkOcean Cameroon was founded in 2019 with just eight students under the leadership of Forbi Perise as the national coordinator and has since grown to over 50+ youngsters. The network's goal is to mobilise and engage Cameroonian youth in the long-term management of our streams, rivers, ocean, and wetlands so that our ocean and wetlands ecosystems can thrive. Wetlands are among the world's most productive ecosystems, as well as the home to delicate ecosystems, extensive bionetworks, diverse inhabitants, and their habitats. Our objective is for wetlands to be revered and protected for their beauty, the life they support, and the resources they provide. We live by the motto "Thinkforward, ThinkAction, ThinkOcean," which adequately captures our mission of preserving, protecting, and restoring the marine ecosystem in order to achieve long-term sustainability.

Projects:
On September 13, 2020, ThinkOcean Cameroon conducted a nationwide workshop seminar for youngsters on the topic "Youth and SDG 14". The workshop aimed to bring students together to discuss global issues such as pollution, climate change, and waste disposal, and to raise awareness about SDG 14. The seminar also served as a platform to initiate discourse and brainstorm innovative solutions to tackle the ongoing problems.
The 7th of June, 2021 saw a workshop on the health of local streams, rivers and oceans take place, with Local communities leaders in attendance.The workshop was a great opportunity for networking and sharing ideas on how to ensure the health of our waterways.
On April 19, 2021, a plastics trash drainage and river cleanup project was organised. This action was designed to remove plastic garbage, which commonly creates channel and drainage blockage in surrounding river channels.
