Discover. Connect. Protect
Our mission is to foster wonder, awareness, and love for all that the ocean encompasses among as wide a public as possible. In doing so, we aim to create an appreciation of what that means for our diverse natural environment. This is achieved through experiential education, encouraging exploration, and advocating for the safegaurding of the ocean and its delicate ecosystems.
