"I hope for your help to explore and protect the wild ocean in ways that will restore the health and, in so doing, secure hope for humankind. Health to the ocean means health for us." - Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer
Let’s protect our ocean, marine life, and coral reefs together! OCEAN WEEK ON ST. JOHN is October 16 to 22, 2023 and includes beach cleanups, seminars and more.
Inspired by International Coastal Cleanup Day we join millions around the world because every bottle, every straw, every piece of trash we clean up can lead to a cleaner, healthier ocean.
