OUR MISSION
The
Mission of The Traveling Sea is to create
awareness about the marine environment through education and outreach.
No
matter where you live,
Colorado,
Iowa,
California, or
Florida, the ocean
influences your weather, your food, and your quality of life. And
likewise, your actions and choices
influence the health of the ocean and its inhabitants. Let’s
all take part in protecting it.
“You
have to love it before you are moved to save it.”
-Dr.Sylvia
Earle, Undersea
Explorer & Marine Biologist
