Community Engagement

“Debris Free Oceans is proud to partner with The International SeaKeepers Society to advance our shared mission of protecting our oceans. Through their DISCOVERY Yacht Program, SeaKeepers has made it possible for our small nonprofit to host impactful snorkel and picnic island cleanups, creating unforgettable and educational experiences for our community. As an informal educator, I’m always impressed by the eloquence, passion, and deep marine science knowledge of the SeaKeepers Community Engagement Team. They are an absolute joy to work with, and we’re always excited for the next opportunity to collaborate.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside SeaKeepers International Society for over six years. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Jay, Dick, Toni, and Lillian—each of whom has played a meaningful role in supporting our shared mission.

As a smaller nonprofit, we’ve always looked up to SeaKeepers for the incredible work they’ve done in sustainability and marine science. Their leadership and commitment have set a powerful example, and the support we’ve received over the years has been both inspiring and instrumental in our own growth.

Thank you for continuing to pave the way—we’re grateful to learn from your efforts and proud to stand alongside you in protecting our oceans.”

Together, we are creating real, measurable impact for our waterways, and we are proud to collaborate with such a dedicated team."
