sealegacy.blue works with a similar model as Google. Each click on a sponsored link or referral generates a small revenue, which varies depending on the search.

100% of our profits remain within a charitable system. A minimum of 60% is allocated to SeaLegacy to support people and projects dedicated to restoring our ocean to abundance. The remaining 40% is used to run and further develop the search engine and build the regeneration.blue ecosystem by the Oceans2050 Foundation.

sealegacy.blue is based on Microsoft’s Bing search technology. The search results and ads are powered by Bing. The auto-complete feature is provided by Searchturbo Ltd. The privacy features of our mobile apps are based on technology from CLIQZ and Ghostery.

Searching with sealegacy.blue is CO2 neutral. Three factors are important:
1. sealegacy.blue is hosted CO2-free.
2. The search queries are processed by BING. The company introduced an internal CO2 tax in 2012 and has been CO2-neutral since then.
3. The support of ocean afforestation projects have an additional CO2 positive effect.
