Profile
SeaWeb is an international, nonprofit, communications organization dedicated to creating a culture of ocean conservation.

We transform knowledge into action by shining a spotlight on workable, science-based solutions to the most serious threats facing the ocean such as climate change, pollution and overexploitation.
