A timely message from our CEO

Our mission is to protect the health of our ocean through our work with marine mammals. We have done this for 50 years, and you can count on us to continue to do so for the next 50 and beyond.
The results of this week’s election raise significant concerns about a federal resolve to protect ocean health.
If these concerns resonate with you, please know you are not powerless. Caring people like you coming together to find creative, sustainable solutions has led to countless conservation success stories – and will lead to countless more.
