Ua hoʻomaka kēia hui ʻoihana i ka makahiki 2008, me kahi haʻawina i ka TOF's SeaGrass Grow Campaign, kanu a hoʻihoʻi i ka mauʻu ma Florida. No nā makahiki 6 i hala iho nei, ua hāʻawi ʻo Kolombia i nā mea hana kiʻekiʻe i hilinaʻi ʻia e kā mākou mau papahana e hana i nā hana hana koʻikoʻi i ka mālama kai.

I ka makahiki 2010, ua hui pū ʻo Columbia Sportswear me TOF, Bass Pro Shops, a me Academy Sports + Outdoors no ka mālama ʻana i ke kai. Ua hana ʻo Columbia Sportswear i nā pālule a me nā pālule kūikawā no ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka noho ʻana o ka ʻili kai no ka mea pili pono i nā wahi lawaiʻa nui ma Florida a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe. Hoʻolaha ʻia kēia hoʻolaha ma waena o nā hālāwai kūkā kaiapuni a me waho/kūʻai aku a ma ke kahua ma kahi pāʻina pilikino Margaritaville no nā mea kūʻai aku.

ʻO ka Ocean Foundation's ʻO Laguna San Ignacio Ecosystem Science Project (LSIESP) ua loaʻa nā lako a me nā lole no nā haumāna a me nā kānaka ʻepekema he 15 e pale aku i ka makani a me ka ʻehu paʻakai i loaʻa iā lākou i kēlā me kēia lā a lākou e hana ai ma ka wai me nā kohola hina.

Ke aʻo nei kēia hoʻolaha kaiāulu a me ka hoʻonaʻauao i ka poʻe waʻa a me ka poʻe holo moana pehea e hōʻemi ai i kā lākou hopena e hōʻoia i ka lawaiʻa huahua, ka ʻōnaehana kaiaola olakino, a me ka hoʻomau i ke komo ʻana i nā lua lawaiʻa punahele.

"Ke hana mau nei wau me kaʻu hui i nā wahi paʻakikī a paʻakikī, pono mākou i nā lole a me nā mea hana kiʻekiʻe," wahi a Alexander Gaos, Luna Hoʻokele o ka Eastern Pacific Hawksbill Initiative (kahi papahana o The Ocean Foundation ma Central America). "Me nā lako o Columbia, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokele i nā lā lōʻihi ma ke kula ma ke ʻano i hiki ʻole iā mākou ma mua."

Ua hui pū ka Ocean Foundation me JetBlue Airways Corp. i ka makahiki 2013 e nānā i ke olakino lōʻihi o nā moana a me nā kahakai o ka Caribbean. Ua ʻimi kēia hui ʻoihana e hoʻoholo i ka waiwai waiwai o nā kahakai maʻemaʻe e hoʻoikaika i ka pale o nā wahi a me nā kaiaola kahi e hilinaʻi ai ka huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi. Ua hāʻawi ʻo TOF i ka ʻike i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻikepili kaiapuni a hāʻawi ʻo JetBlue i kā lākou ʻikepili ʻoihana ponoʻī. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo JetBlue i ka manaʻo "EcoEarnings: He mea kahakai" ma hope o ko lākou manaʻoʻiʻo hiki ke hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia ka ʻoihana i nā kahakai.

ʻO nā hopena o ka papahana EcoEarnings i kumu i ko mākou manaʻo kumu he pilina maikaʻi ʻole ma waena o ke olakino kaiaola kahakai a me ka loaʻa kālā o kahi mokulele i kēlā me kēia noho ma kēlā me kēia wahi. E hāʻawi ka hōʻike manawa manawa mai ka papahana i nā alakaʻi o ka ʻoihana i kahi laʻana o ka laina hou o ka manaʻo e hoʻokomo ʻia ka mālama ʻana i kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona ʻoihana a me kā lākou laina lalo.

I ka makahiki 2015, ua lilo ʻo Klean Kanteen i lālā hoʻokumu o TOF's Field Research Partnership Program, e hāʻawi ana i nā huahana kiʻekiʻe i nā papahana e hoʻopau ana i nā hana mālama koʻikoʻi. Ua kūpaʻa ʻo Klean Kanteen i ka hana ʻana i nā huahana hou i hoʻolālā ʻia e mau a palekana no nā mea āpau. Ma ke ʻano he hui B i hōʻoia ʻia a he lālā o 1% no ka honua, ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia ʻo Klean Kanteen e lilo i kumu hoʻohālike a alakaʻi i ka hoʻomau. ʻO kā lākou kūpaʻa a me ko lākou makemake no ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka ʻōpala plastik a me ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni i lilo ai kā mākou hui ʻana i mea ʻole.

"Haʻaheo ʻo Klean Kanteen i ke komo ʻana i ka Field Research Partnership Program a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hana kupaianaha a The Ocean Foundation," wahi a Caroleigh Pierce, Luna Hoʻokele Nonprofit no Klean Kanteen. "E hoʻomau mākou i ka hana e pale i kā mākou waiwai waiwai nui - ka wai."

I ka makahiki 2014, ua lilo ʻo Numi i lālā hoʻokumu o TOF's Field Research Partnership Program, e hāʻawi ana i nā huahana kī kiʻekiʻe i nā papahana e hoʻopau ana i nā hana mālama koʻikoʻi. Hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Numi i ka honua ma o kā lākou koho noʻonoʻo ʻana i ke kī kūlohelohe, ka pale ʻana i ka eco-responsible, offsetting carbon emissions, a me ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka ʻōpala kaulahao lako. ʻO ka mea i hala loa aku nei, ʻo Numi he alakaʻi lanakila no ka Citizenship e ka Specialty Food Association.
