As the only community foundation for the ocean, The Ocean Foundation’s mission is to improve global ocean health, climate resilience, and the blue economy. We create partnerships to connect all peoples in the communities in which we work to the informational, technical, and financial resources they need to achieve their ocean stewardship goals.

OverviewContinuing the work started by Boyd N. Lyon, The Ocean Foundation, Boyd’s family and loved ones created this Committee Advised Fund to provide an annual scholarship to a marine biology student whose research is focused on sea turtles. The fund provides support to those projects that enhance our understanding of sea turtle behavior, habitat needs, abundance, spatial and temporal distribution, research diving safety, among others. The Fund has been providing an annual $2,500 grant to students since 2008. Visit the website to apply or find more information on the next scholarship.
