"We have only this moment, this day."

The Oceans need your help.

The Oceanic Resource Foundation encourages the participation and support of individuals, corporations and private foundations in the protection of the Earthís marine environment.

Contributions can be made to a variety of conservation and research organizations that support field researchers and graduate students studying coral reef systems, provide laboratory materials, scuba diving equipment, underwater survey reels and clipboards, and travel subsistence. Sea turtle and whale researchers are supported with camping equipment, binoculars, boat charters, photographic equipment and film, veterinary supplies, all-terrain vehicles, non-polluting outboard motors, ARGOS satellite data acquisition, and international travel subsistence.

In coastal wetlands areas, numerous endangered species of flora and fauna live, all threatened by residential and commercial development. Many agencies are developing habitat suitability models and wetlands studies that will allow then to monitor and protect the fragile bay ecosystems. Ultimate research goals are to find solutions to marine environmental problems, develop educational materials, work closely with local communities, and bring about positive environmental change. Become a partner in these projects happening around the world today.
