The David Suzuki Foundation is a federally registered Canadian charity which
explores human impacts on the environment, with an emphasis on finding
solutions.
The Foundation was established in 1990 to find and communicate ways in which
we can achieve a balance between social, economic, and ecological needs.
SeaWeb is a project designed
to raise awareness of the world ocean and the life within it. The ocean plays a
critical role in our everyday life and in the future of our planet. We believe
that as more people understand this and begin to appreciate the earth as a water
planet, they will take actions to conserve the ocean and the web of life it
supports.
About The Ocean Project
Our Mission
We are a new
initiative that intends to create in people a lasting, measurable, top-of-mind
awareness of the importance, value, and sensitivity of the oceans. We believe
that the single greatest impediment to healthy and productive marine and coastal
areas is the public's low level of ocean awareness.
Through this
unprecedented collaboration among aquariums, zoos, science, technology, and
natural history museums, and other educational institutions that together serve
more than 100 million visitors each year, The Ocean Project aims to
significantly increase the success of ocean conservation. The Ocean Project
seeks to complement and build upon the work of existing institutions and
organizations. We also collaborate with local, regional, and national nonprofit
conservation and environmental organizations to actively involve people in
conservation activities in their communities and better connect them to the
oceans.
If you work with an
institution or organization that would like to become involved with the The
Ocean Project please contact us!
