Our goal is to educate the world about the Ocean and develop practical ways to help save it.
Save the Ocean.
Save the Planet.
The Ocean Conservation Exploration and Education Foundation (OCEEF) leverages technology to change hearts, transform minds, and advance awareness about ocean conservation and research.
OCEEF believes that our ocean, rich with wonders yet to be discovered, is critical to our future.
OUR VISION
OCEEF’s vision is to help shape a world where people appreciate the importance of the Ocean and take action to protect it and ensure its sustainability.
OUR MISSION
Our Missions to Date
Since the organization’s launch in 2022, OCEEF ran multiple science, education and conservation missions on-board RV Odyssey, a state of the art oceanographic vessel that supports state-of-the-art three-person submersibles that descend to thousands of feet, along with remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and has a certified helideck (EC135 and A109) with refueling capabilities.
OCEEF leveraged RV Odyssey’s world-class oceanographic equipment in missions from the Caribbean to Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, and from the Horn of Africa to the Maldives, Chagos, Reunion all the way to Cape Town.
EDUCATION
OCEEF believes that the key to accelerating the engagement of children and young adults with the Ocean, while forging new and improved behaviors towards the environment lies in adopting a novel approach to education, where content goes viral, learning is more gamified, and experiences more immersive.
