Our Mission
Our Approach: Blending Culture & Conservation
We're blending direct environmental action like beach clean-ups with culture-driven, community-led events that integrate music, art, dance, film, fashion, and theater into educating and empowering the next generation of ocean stewards.
Hands on Education: Our Oceans Need Help
We are raising awareness about the many threats facing our oceans — from plastic pollution and overfishing to habitat loss and climate change — through powerful, culture-fueled, educational experiences designed to inform, activate, and unite.
Creating the Next Generation of Ocean Stewards
Through our unique blend of culture and ocean conservation we create meaningful experiences that educate and empower people to take action. We are creating a community that will protect and preserve our oceans for future generations. Leading the wave of change — making waves, not waste.
