The ocean is the life line to everyone here at The Happy Sea. We all have our own special connection to the sea --it’s a safe space, a place to go to find yourself, or the corner of the world where you can dream a little bigger. It can be a place to gather and spend time with family, friends or your fur baby. No matter your connection, we all have the desire and responsibility to protect our home away from home.
We all want to give back to the ocean--but where do you start? It can be overwhelming trying to find and research all the different organizations that protect the ocean in its own way. It's even more difficult trying to pick just one!
To save you some time and stress, we complied a list of a few of our favorite ocean-saving nonprofits to make the decision a little bit easier. white writing

Every cent goes towards their expeditions, campaigns, and solutions to help fight to save our oceans worldwide.
