A healthy ocean makes for a healthier world.
The health of our oceans not only impacts sea life, but also jobs, tourism, food supply, transportation, medicine, and our economy.

All sealife deserve a clean and healthy place to live.
50% of the world’s oxygen comes from our oceans, and our oceans store 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Oceans cover 70% of earth's surface, helping to regulate heat and weather patterns. Scientists estimate that the ocean is home to over a million different species.

When we had the opportunity to take action by supporting a good cause doing great things, we didn’t think twice. Together we can positively impact our lakes, oceans, and rivers, and improve the water for everyone and everything.
