FORCE BLUE is 501c3 nonprofit organization uniting the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation for the betterment of both. FORCE BLUE is the only non-profit 501(c)(3) in the world specifically created to unite the community of Special Operations Veterans with the world of coral reef conservation for the betterment of both. More than 40 percent of

the 3million men and women combat veterans of the Iraq & Afghanistan wars are likely to experience some form of post traumatic stress (PTS,) due in part to difficulty adjusting to an unstructured life after military order and/or trouble relating their military skills to civilian work. FORCE BLUE gives former military trained combat divers and veterans of Special Operations Forces an important new mission: to experience and explore one of the most critically endangered ecosystems on the planet–and to adapt their training and teamwork to rebuild the fragile ecosystem and aid in its protection. FORCE BLUE teaches veterans: their skills and training are transferable and can still make a positive difference, camaraderie does exist after combat and helping can be the antidote to harming. FORCE BLUE welcomes the support of people and organizations who see the value in this unique mission and want to play a part in its success.

New battlefield. Same discipline.

Five years ago, FORCE BLUE veterans swapped weapons for restoration tools to plant 100 Yards of Hope, a site dedicated to coaxing a battered patch of ocean back to life.

We recently joined them to dive back into the deep to map the next phase of ocean defense. With the new FORCE BLUE Pacific Diver, we honor their service, and support those protecting our shared home - Earth.

SCHOOL'S IN! Students took to the classroom, the pool and the grinder for the start of our 6th annual FORCE BLUE OCS (Ocean Conservation School) at NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the Great Lake Maritime Heritage Center.

With Special Operations veterans serving as their instructors and previous OCS grads as their mentors, 10 courageous students (ages 11-17) will undergo their NAUI Worldwide Open Water Dive Certification Training throughout the week, while also learning about THEIR responsibilities as the next generation of marine conservation leaders — and the role can play in their lives
