Ways we can all make a difference

Less plastic on land means less plastic in the sea. Save our oceans! Inspire change. Be the difference.

How you can help

  • Wear your bracelet! Share the message and encourage others to help.  Influence change in your own community to get the word out!
  • Avoid straws. Carry a reusable one with you if you need one.
  • Bring your own reusable cups when ordering drinks. Or opt for a paper one instead of plastic.
  • Say no to plastic grocery bags: bring a reusable bag or canvas tote with you if you need one.
  • Avoid plastic trash bags: recycle as much as possible, and use paper trash bags instead.  
  • Carry a reusable water bottle with you during the day and on vacation. NEVER buy plastic water bottles. 
  • When possible, minimize the amount of products or food you purchase that are wrapped in plastic or served in plastic containers.​​ Demand eco-friendly packaging materials from your local stores & restaurants. 
  • Don't release balloons. Seriously, don't. Turtles, sea life, and the environment will thank you.
  • Recycle whenever possible!
  • Eat sustainable seafood. For a great seafood guide, visit this link:  ​​https://www.seafoodwatch.org
  • Reduce your personal energy use. 
  • Support organizations working to protect the oceans.

What we're doing to help

  • We are committed to living sustainably and pushing for a plastic-free environment by educating as many people as possible while sharing our knowledge, our photography, and our research. 
  • We've personally committed to saying no to straws, plastic containers, and plastic bags.
  • ​We're pushing our local community to be plastic-bag free (this is one of the EASIEST plastics to give up, and will make a huge difference!)
  • We only eat sustainable protein, and are working towards a more plant-based lifestyle. It's better for us, and better for the environment. 
  • We offer a variety of products in our shop, all geared towards helping the environment, and making it easier for our customers to avoid single-use plastics. 
  • 100% of profits go towards our research, conservation efforts, and our educational outreach programs. We also proudly donate to other amazing companies such as: 
    • 4Ocean
    • Center for Whale Research
    • One Ocean Diving
    • Pacific Whale Foundation
    • American Cetacean Society
