Get Involved

The ocean gives us so much – the air we breathe, a suitable climate, and a whole lot of joy – but sometimes it can be hard to know how we can give back. Join us at an event or workshop to get trained in hands-on actions you can do to help conserve and regenerate our coast and ocean. 

From Ocean Lover, to Ocean Champion.
