 In addition to their projects, Cox and Seacology played an active role in the creation of the National Park of American Samoa through the work of their scientists and donors.In 2008, Seacology started its Carbon Offset Fund, where donations of $40.00 went directly towards renewable energy and reforestation projects.That same year, they collaboratively funded the creation of a nursery run by the non-governmental organization (NGO) Azafady in Madagascar to raise 3,000 seedlings of the endangered palm "Dypsis saintelucei".
