Educating and Empowering Ocean Champions

Creating a healthy ocean begins with understanding it. We're connecting learners, educators, youth, and communities with opportunities to explore ocean science, conservation, and sustainability through hands-on learning and meaningful experiences. With programs that foster a lifelong connection to the ocean we are equipping people with the tools to make a positive impact.

Whether you're a student, educator, parent, or lifelong learner, there's a place for you to discover, engage, and take action.

Experiential learning is such a powerful tool to help people engage with the future of the ocean. Through Ocean Wise’s learning programs, Canadians from diverse backgrounds can build the confidence and connection they need to take action for the ocean.

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xÊ·məθkwÉ™y̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and SÉ™lÌ“ílwÉ™taÊ”/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
