With our research and conservation efforts, we aim to save the short-fin mako shark here in San Diego, CA. 

We conduct bi-monthly behavioral and monitoring research on our local pinnipeds (seals and sea lions). If you would like to get involved with this campaign, email us.

Acting once a month and especially during El Nino events, we remove a portion of the purple sea urchin population to give giant kelp a higher chance at a faster recovery.
 

Join us every year for our Blue Cove Paddle Out to raise awareness of the 20,000 dolphins slaughtered in Japan every year. A recommended donation of $5-10 is greatly appreciated and donated to Dolphin Project. Pledge with us to never support a dolphinarium, as they belong wild and free.

Join us as we clean up San Diego county! Our La Jolla Shores location has an in-water option to snorkel and look for trash. Clean ups sponsored by Barrel Bag, Guayaki and AquaLung. Due to COVID-19, masks are mandatory to participate.
