Our Purpose

Seaside Sustainability's mission is to preserve and protect the world's oceans, seas, wetlands, and communities by motivating citizens to evaluate the critical issues facing the water environment, educating the public on best practices for sustainability, and providing guidance for taking effective action. Two of our most important focus areas are eliminating consumer plastics and creating educational programs for students of all ages. By partnering with diverse stakeholders, including institutions, environmental groups, and other organizations across the public and private sectors, Seaside Sustainability is committed to building an informed citizenry to address the sustainability of water-based ecosystems in communities worldwide.
