Working together across research, community, and industry helps us understand how daily actions influence ocean health.
♲ Small actions upstream can make a big difference downstream.
 Start small. Think circular. Act for the ocean.

La connaissance de l’océan est le résultat d’efforts collectifs pour aider les gens à comprendre, valoriser et prendre soin de l’océan.

Elle n’est pas la tâche d’un seul groupe—elle nous appartient à toutes et à tous.

Wildfires don’t just burn forests, they impact rivers, air & the ocean. 
Small actions matter: respect fire bans, clear dry debris, stay informed.
