Marine Science and Conservation

None of us can do everything for the oceans and its peoples and species, but we can each do something. Our challenge is to become aware of the big picture to modify our community and personal actions, products, and thoughts as best as we can, one step at a time. Then we can pick one or two projects that we feel particularly strong about. Here are organizations that fit different ocean niches that you can choose to work with and support to make a difference in the area you most care about.
