The Ocean Project

The Ocean Project is a US-based non-profit organization working to advance ocean conservation and education. Since its formation in the late 1990s, The Ocean Project has grown from a handful of founding North American aquariums into the world’s most extensive network for advancing ocean education and action. Its growing network includes more than 1,600 partner aquariums, zoos, science, technology, and natural history museums(ZAMS), and other education and conservation organizations, agencies, and institutions in all 50 U.S. states and 80 other countries that together serve more than 400 million visitors each year.

Through cutting-edge market research and building strong collaborations with ZAMs, The Ocean Project aims to spur a significant increase in successful ocean and climate conservation efforts. As leading gatekeepers in providing the public with experiences that engage them, ZAMs inspire their audiences to take action at home and in their communities, and increase their understanding of science and conservation.
