The Ocean Project

Since its inception in the late 1990s, The Ocean Project has grown from a handful of founding North American aquariums and organizations into the world's most extensive network for advancing ocean education and action, with over 830 partner zoos, aquariums, and museums (ZAMs), plus conservation and education organizations, agencies, and institutions in all 50 U.S. states and 75 countries. Collectively, our Partners reach over 300 million people.

The Ocean Project advances ocean conservation by working in partnership with ZAMs and others to educate visitors on the importance of protecting and conserving our ocean planet. We help them do so by providing our Partners with cutting-edge public opinion and communications research; effective outreach program strategies to assist in changing attitudes and behaviors for conservation; helpful information and tools to increase civic involvement in community conservation activities; and ways to help with regional, national, and international policy-focused action.
