Our Focus

Every other breath of air we take is made in our oceans, and our survival depends on working in harmony with the ecosystems that keep us alive.

Our work builds awareness around two main issues, plastic pollution and commercial fishing.

Plastic Pollution

Since its introduction into our lifestyles in the 1950s, plastic has allowed for great advancements for humanity while simultaneously threatening the health of all life on Earth.

Commercial Fishing

Providing seafood for humanity has created fishing practices that devastate the ecosystem responsible for making the oxygen we breathe and regulating our climate.
