Blue Frontier

Blue Frontier Blue Frontier builds the solution-oriented citizen engagement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and the communities, both human and wild that depend on them.

Blue Frontier Campaign was founded in 2003 by David Helvarg, author and activist. It works to support seaweed (marine grassroots) efforts at the local, regional and national level, with an emphasis on bottom up organizing to bring the voice of citizen-activists into national decision-making that will impact our public seas. There are now over 2,000 blue groups working on ocean and coastal conserva

tion but largely operating in isolation, and with little coordinated effort among them. Blue Frontier’s mission is to strengthen this ocean constituency through building unity, providing tools, and enhancing public awareness of both the challenges and solutions being offered by these groups to the various threats facing our living oceans.

Smile! It's World Otter Day! 🦦⁠
⁠
More than just a cute face, these furry mammals are voracious predators and a keystone species. They keep invertebrate grazer populations in check by munching on urchins, clams, crabs, and more!⁠
⁠
Organizations like the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Marine Mammal Center have put a lot of work into restoring their West coast population to its former glory, which may in turn help the kelp!⁠
⁠
You can learn more about these animals on Rising Tide: the Ocean Podcast and in David Helvarg's new book, Forest of the Sea.
