Your legacy gift to Ocean Wise can have a lasting impact for future generations

Remembering Ocean Wise with a gift in your will is a thoughtful and generous act that will help change the future of the ocean forever. We also gratefully accept gifts made through donor‑advised funds.

The ocean is our planet’s life support system. From generating half the oxygen we breathe, to feeding the world’s population, to mitigating the effects of climate change – humans rely on the ocean for our very survival.

What kind of ocean do we want to leave our children and grandchildren?

With your legacy gift, you can help shape the future. You can make an enduring impact on the health of our ocean and ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy the wonders of the ocean in the same way you have.
