Center for Marine Conservation
The task of managing and protecting our oceans lies with us all. The Ocean Conservancy is committed to bringing these issues before the general public, not only because people deserve to know, but because the oceans are a public resource, and can only be as healthy as an informed public demands.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
We envision a world in which the oceans are healthy, and people are committed to protecting the integrity of Earth's natural systems, which sustain us all. To help make this vision a reality, we create exhibits, programs and publications that introduce people from all walks of life to the wonders of the marine world from Monterey Bay to the vast oceans beyond.

The Reef-World Foundation

Ocean Day Network
Ocean Day Network is an annual celebration and call to action for the protection of the world's oceans. For 10 years almost 50,000 West Coast children have marked Ocean Day as a finale to their in-school environmental education. Since 1994 a growing number of people have participated in the Ocean Day events conducted in late May each year. In 2004 many thousands of students from Vancouver to Los Angeles to San Diego will be involved by cleaning beaches. They are also committed to making a difference by standing up and creating giant images in the sand to serve as lasting reminders of the need to protect our oceans. These “aerial art” creations will be photographed from the sky.

Global in scope and dedicated to conservation, Oceana has campaigners based in North America (Washington, DC; Juneau, AK; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Portland, Oregon; the Mid-Atlantic and New England), Europe (Madrid, Spain; Brussels, Belgium) and South America (Santiago, Chile).

Surfrider Foundation USA
The Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots, non-profit, environmental organization that works to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches.
The Surfrider Foundation's programs work because they are used at the community level. The programs, and the data they generate, educate students, the public and coastal management agencies about local, regional, nation and even global coastal environmental issues and problems, while giving them lessons they can apply in their own "backyards."

The Coral Reef Alliance
The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) is a member-supported, non-profit organization, dedicated to keeping coral reefs alive around the world.
Coral reefs are one of nature's most magnificent creations filled with thousands of unique and valuable plants and animals. Over one-quarter of all marine species depend on healthy coral reefs. Humans also depend on coral reefs. These marine ecosystems are the primary source of food and income for millions of people, a vast repository of valuable chemical compounds and medicines, and a natural wave barrier that protect beaches and coastlines from waves and storms.
