Ocean Conservation Research
Ocean Conservation Research is focused on the impacts of human-generated noise pollution on ocean habitat and marine animals; seeking understanding, informing policy, and creating solutions. We are using science and technology to serve the sea.
COMPASS
COMPASS is a partnership of SeaWeb, the Monterey Bay Aquarium s Center for the Future of the Oceans and leading academic marine scientists. COMPASS combines the skills of its partners to advance and communicate marine conservation science to policymakers, the public and the media. Our goal is to accelerate the pace of solutions to important marine environmental problems.
WiLDCOAST
WiLDCOAST is an international conservation team, dedicated to the preservation of endangered species and threatened coastal wildlands. Through community outreach, activism and media campaigns, we eliminate threats to imperiled beaches, bays, lagoons, and islands and develop reserves to protect them into the future. WiLDCOAST has spent the last decade building partnerships and professional friendships with critically situated conservationists, fisherman, community activists, ranchers, and the families who inhabit these endangered places.
