Our Mission
To protect and celebrate our oceans and their wildlife through community education and action.  
Our Beliefs
  • Out of respect for nature humans should seek to tread lightly on the Earth.
  • As humans our health and well being is intrinsically linked to the health and well being of the Earth.
  • As humans we should strive to leave the Earth to our children in a better condition than it was left to us.
  • All species from the blue whale to the tiniest crab deserve to live without fear of indiscriminate harm or extinction.
  • Our oceans should be celebrated and protected.
  • We never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has (Margaret Mead).
  • The community has a right to be involved in decision-making. Good decision-making should be based on informed and considered opinions.
