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

We conduct 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.
