About Us
Making the invisible visible.
In 2014, Wildbluesea set out to help the world see how plastic was filling the ocean and littering our lives. We asked a question few were asking at that time: What if the ocean was full of plastic? We’re proud to have been one of a small group of fellow changemakers who took on the formidable mission of making the problem widely known…and to move beyond informing to motivating people to change their ways.
Leading the way
Hundreds of people joined us to pioneer programs that combined science with our positive emotional connection to wild waters and became catalysts for a global movement to reduce ocean plastic pollution. Thousands more gained insight and changed their behavior to reduce their own impact after experiencing our outreach programs.
In 2018, we piloted Ocean Gratitude clean-ups with a twist and presented results at the 6th International Marine Debris Conference to 700+ attendees from 54 countries.
Blue mind-infused conservation
THEN: At the forefront of exposing the global plastic pollution crisis resulting in todays' shift away from single-use. Beach clean-ups have become mainstream. Reducing plastic entering waterways continues to be a core part of our message.
NOW: Back to our original vision: to create a new, more effective voice for coastal conservation by introducing strategies with a powerful positive motivational element called "blue mind". To restore a healthy relationship with wild waters based in reciprocity. Rivers, lakes, bays and ocean. The awe, joy, peace and wonder we experience. We're focused on reveal and valuing the blue mind benefits we receive.
Here's our new question: How do we motivate behavior that values wild waters and strengthens the precious relationship between us as we make choices about how we live on this water planet? JOIN US in creating a new wave of blue mind-infused coastal conservation!
The Mangrove Project
Wildbluesea relaunch is in full swing!
The Mangrove Project is 200 mangrove seedlings installed on
13 local business’ windows to spark curiosity and conversation.
We planted our first 100 mangroves on February 3 with students and volunteers. Join us at upcoming community socials and plantings! Local waterways, local small businesses, local music, community engagement and mangroves. Reciprocal relationships are a win-win for people and planet. We are making it clear: our well-being is directly linked to the well-being of the ocean, inlet, river and lagoon.
