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.

Currently monitoring our Giant Kelp beds and assessing urchin populations in San Diego County. If kelp beds shift towards urchin barrens, we are ready to act to restore healthy Giant Kelp beds.
 

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! Clean ups sponsored by Barrel Bag and Guayaki. Due to COVID-19, masks are mandatory to participate.

Thanks to our team, we are setting up fishing line receptacles on piers throughout San Diego County, in order to prevent fishing line/lures from ending up in our oceans. Thousands of marine animals, like this Californian Sea Lion pup, get entangled in fishing line each year. Join us in our efforts to reduce monofilament line pollution; we are looking for high school volunteers, preferably from inner city schools in San Diego county.
