San Diego Ocean's Foundation

I'd like to shamelessly promote an organization that my sister is working for in San Diego! We all like to help out in one way or another, but if you are in the San Diego area, or if you just feel like helping a good cause, check out http://www.sdoceans.org/!

From their Facebook page:

The mission of the San Diego Oceans Foundation is to promote ocean stewardship by leading community-supported projects that enhance the ocean habitat and encourage sustainable use of the oceans resources.

What does this really mean? SDOF recruits and trains community members to assist with our marine programs. These volunteers work at the grass-roots level where they learn new skills and become educated in marine conservation efforts.Then the magic happens! Our volunteers become ocean stewards and begin personalizing their commitment to the sea. We've hooked them (not literally) and that's how we spread our message of ocean stewardship!


Whether you help out an organization like this, or donate towards efforts to clean up the gulf of mexico, anything you do to save the ocean is a wonderful gift! After living in Australia for 5 months and seeing how beautiful the ocean can be (I admit, I used to be scared of getting in,) I now know the importance of programs and non-profits like San Diego Oceans Foundation and their huge contribution to protecting and saving the wildlife and our oceans in general.


Follow them on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/sandiegooceansfoundation for some thoughtful, and some hilarious, updates.
