Ocean First Institute

A Global Nonprofit: Our Mission is Ocean Conservation through Research & Education. 🦈
Ocean First Institute advances ocean conservation with a simple approach: science in the water, education in the classroom, and action in the community. We conduct shark-focused research—spotlighting sharks, their health, and nursery habitats—and use innovative technologies to study and protect marine life. We translate discoveries into real-world solutions and share them through engaging education programs that reach learners worldwide. From classroom demos and citizen science to policy partnerships and field stories, our videos empower people of all ages to protect a healthy, resilient ocean.
