Today is World Oceans Day, a global time for celebration and collaboration to support our oceans and our future. Even though 71 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans nourishing marine plants that produce 70 percent of Earth’s oxygen, since 2009, less than 1 percent of all philanthropic funding has been dedicated to this vital resource.

On this special day, thanks to a $50,000 matching grant from Seattle-born philanthropist and environmentalist Nancy Nordhoff, every dollar you donate will be doubled, helping us to restore and protect this irreplaceable natural resource. Thank you for investing in SeaDoc, and in something that you not only care about but also depend upon.
