Ocean Connectors The Ocean Connectors mission is to educate, inspire, and connect youth in underserved Pacific coastal communities through the study of migratory marine life.

Our vision is to cultivate a future generation of passionate, globally-aware, and empowered coastal residents who take active steps to enjoy and protect ocean health. We accomplish this by providing environmental education programs for students in the U.S. and Mexico as well as public coastal Eco Tours in San Diego, California. Each year we engage thousands of students in marine science, experiential learning, and ocean conservation. We are currently targeting public schools in National City, California, U.S. and Nayarit, Mexico. Migratory marine animals pass through California’s coastal waters en route to nesting, feeding, and breeding grounds in Mexico. We work with a community of nonprofit partners, volunteers, and teachers in both areas to accomplish our goals and engage as many children as possible in diverse, hands-on learning opportunities in coastal environments. Ocean Connectors is a fiscal sponsorship project of The Ocean Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

This heat wave has been intense, and our native plants are feeling it too! That's why we are headed to San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge to give the newly planted vegetation some much needed water and attention. We would love for you to join our efforts of watering the native plants and also picking up trash that can harm local wildlife and travel through the watershed. To sign up, please visit oceanconnectors.org and select your preferred date! Hope to see you there! 🪏 🌱🌞

🔭 Help us put binoculars in the hands of the next generation of Mexican conservationists!

Our Ocean Connectors Mexico team in Nayarit is doing incredible work — serving 1,500 students across 22 schools and 16 communities. Our programs have seen rapid growth and earned recognition from government and education authorities, and we are so proud of how far we've come.

Now we need your help to keep the momentum going. We're raising $1,500 USD to purchase 8 new durable, youth-friendly binoculars so our students can continue to experience the natural world up close, build a love for conservation, and become the next generation of ocean and coastal stewards. 🌊🐦

Our goal is $1,500 USD — every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer. Please share this post and help us spread the word! 💙
