Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative
We support the development of marine education community leaders and empowering students of all ages to translate ocean literacy into conservation action around the world.
International Ocean Acidification Initiative
We help build the capacity of scientists, policymakers, and communities – to monitor, understand, and respond to the effects of ocean acidification both locally and collaboratively on a global scale.
