Celebrating Sustainability: Nuwat Wins the Sustainability Impact Award at SSEA 2025
Bahrain 
We’re beyond honored and excited to share that Nuwat has been awarded the Sustainability Impact Award at the Startup & SME Excellence Awards 2025 (SSEA)! This recognition is not only a milestone for us but a celebration of the collective efforts of every citizen scientist, community member, collaborator and partner who shares our vision for a world where nature and people thrive together.
We owe this recognition to all those who believe in the combined power of science, local knowledge and ancestral wisdom plus the people behind these practices. It’s thanks to our passionate team, our dedicated partners, and the communities we work alongside that we continue to see real, measurable impact in marine conservation, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience.
At Nuwat, we are dedicated to merging scientific research with community-driven conservation. From monitoring coral reef ecosystems and investigating microplastics in marine environments to conducting groundbreaking research on sharks and preserving Bahrain’s pearling industry, we are committed to creating long-term, positive environmental change. This award reaffirms the importance of our work and inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainability.
The future is wild, resilient, and rooted in wisdom, and we are so grateful to the SSEA judges and all the supporters of this event for their support and confidence in our vision.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to building a nature-embracing, sustainable Bahrain where every action, big or small, leads to a more harmonious balance between people and the planet.
