Ocean Conservation Yacht Club (OCYC)
Established in 2008, the OCYC is a collaboration between Oceana and the sailing community. Sailors witness and are adversely affected by the decline of the world's oceans and have a unique opportunity to be part of the solution.
Race for the Oceans
In addition to the Olympics and World Championships, Aaron Peirsol also swims to raise awareness about the threats facing our oceans. He hopes this partnership with Oceana will encourage other swimmers to race for the oceans as well.
Love a Sea Turtle
Help Them L.AS.T. (Love a Sea Turtle) is the website of twelve-year-old Casey Sokolovic, who was a finalist in Oceana’s 2009 Ocean Hero Contest. Through her creative fundraising efforts, she has raised more than $3000 for the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Topsail Island, North Carolina. For the 2009 holiday adoption center, Oceana created a “Casey Kit” in her honor, which contains a sea turtle cookie cutter and plush turtle.
