Mission Statement: O'Neill Sea Odyssey provides a free, hands-on educational experience to encourage the protection and preservation of our living sea and communities. The O'Neill Sea Odyssey program is rooted in the belief that students learn from experiences, and that the best way to inspire students to protect the ocean environment is for them to experience it firsthand. OSO serves primarily low-income 4-6th grade students from underserved populations. Our program consists of a sailing trip on the Monterey Bay, aboard the Team O'Neill catamaran, and has a three-station format: Marine Biology, Marine Ecology, and Navigation.

To acquire and preserve natural areas; to develop, furnish, operate and maintain recreational facilities, and to extend the public’s knowledge of the state’s natural environment.

The Ocean Alaska Science and Learning Center (OASLC) is one of 17 Research Learning Centers established by the National Park Service to increase the communication, use, and effectiveness of scientific research in national parks. We support Alaska’s 11 coastal parks, which comprise over 3,600 miles of coastline and one-third of the coastline in the entire National Park System. Our mission is to promote stewardship of the marine-influenced ecosystems of Alaska’s coastal national parks through learning, education, and research.

To educate, inspire, and connect youth in underserved Pacific coastal communities through the study of migratory marine life. Ocean Connectors was founded on the realization that many schoolchildren do not have equal access to explore their coastal environment. Our vision is to cultivate a future generation of passionate, globally-­aware, and empowered coastal residents who take active steps to enjoy and protect ocean health.

Dedicated to honor, protect, and restore the health of the world's oceans and the life of the Earth's systems through conservation, research, education, science, and technology.
