ENTERING A THIRD DECADE

As we enter a 21st year of advocating for the ocean, we are proud to boast a broader audience of Citizens of the Ocean than ever before. We are engaging with millions worldwide through free educational service, ease of access to programs, resources, and vetted teaching tools that explore climate and ocean issues, conservation, science, and solutions. A dynamic, comprehensive, global communications strategy has been our purpose from the very beginning. We continue to refine and build upon tools that work, and are innovating new ways to teach and learn about climate, ocean, and the myriad systems that connect us.
