Now is the time to turn the tides on ocean threats.
The Group's Purpose
The oceans produce 70% of the oxygen we breathe and control the planet's temperature and weather. No matter how near or far from an ocean you live... no oceans, no us.
I’ve dedicated half of my life to ocean conservation as a marine biologist, studying endangered marine animals around the world for different governments and universities. When I finished my PhD, I realized over 30 of the species that I’ve studied or interacted with will go extinct within my lifetime. I couldn’t see a direct link between my research and the immediate conservation action needed.
I believe strongly in the power of individual action to create positive change and I wanted to share my experiences with youth who still have a whole lifetime to create positive change for our oceans. This is why I started Sea Smart.
Our oceans need our help now. They are getting warmer and more acidic, coral reefs are dying, fish populations are collapsing, and many countries are treating the ocean like a waste basket.
Now is the time to turn the tides on ocean threats.
