Sin Azul No Hay Verde

What Sin Azul No Hay Verde does

Sin Azul No Hay Verde is an Argentine nonprofit environmental foundation headquartered in Chubut province (Puerto Madryn and Rawson), Patagonia, dedicated to defending the Argentine Sea from destructive trawl fishing and marine biodiversity loss. The organization operates three core pillars: (1) communication, activism, and alliances through mass campaigns; (2) research and reports investigating trawling impacts, delivered in partnership with Círculo de Políticas Ambientales; and (3) environmental education via school/university talks and the monthly La Marea Azul community gatherings. Its product surface consists of six interconnected advocacy campaigns: Sharks protection, Fishing Transparency, Stop Trawl Fishing, Murals to the Sea, Fishing Plastic Pollution, and the Namuncurá Banco Burdwood II Marine Protected Area initiative.

The foundation is led by Coordinator Juan Coustet with a team of approximately 5 people and operates with no commercial technology stack beyond a WordPress-based website, social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X), email newsletter, and Change.org petitions. There is no proprietary software, mobile app, API, or AI/ML capability; the "technology" of the organization is grassroots activism, scientific partnerships (CENPAT-CONICET), and public art installations such as murals with QR codes. The organization filed the first criminal environmental complaint in Chubut for protected shark fishing and is the leading Argentine civil society voice pushing for a public fishing fleet registry and Argentina's adherence to the FiTI transparency standard.

The revenue model is pure donation-based with no commercial streams. The website displays tiered suggested donations in Argentine pesos (100/200/300/500/750 ARS) and states that 100% of donations go directly to projects, communications, and strategy execution. Go-to-market is community-led: supporter acquisition flows through digital activism, monthly community events, beach cleanups, petition campaigns, public events such as Bioferia (reaching 45,000+ attendees in Buenos Aires), and earned media. Customer segments are the general Argentine public, students and educational institutions, and coastal communities in Chubut — none of which pay for services. The organization is operationally active as of 2026 with no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, and no funding rounds.
