Our Story
Founded in 1998 by a group of marine biologists, the Ocean Guardians Alliance has grown from a small local cleanup crew to a global force for marine conservation. We focus on three core pillars: reef restoration, plastic reduction policy, and endangered species rehabilitation. Last year alone, our teams deployed over 400 artificial reef structures and successfully rehabilitated 50+ sea turtles. Through partnerships with local governments and international bodies, we continue to expand our reach. The data shows that for every dollar donated, $0.88 goes directly to water conservation efforts.
