Welcome to Wildbluesea
The innovative nonprofit devoted to creating informed, engaged community who recognize the value of healthy wild waterways.
Request for support. August 31 deadline!
An urgent need for your help to fund our program permit at this special location on Jupiter Inlet.
If you were fortunate enough to attend a Blue Mind Reset or the Friday night Blue Mind Sessions featuring live music, food and an eco-village, then you know how unique the grounds around Jupiter Inlet are, including the Lighthouse and the 100-year-old Banyan tree. This special place requires a federal permit to hold programs on site and after many months, the Bureau of Land Management granted Wildbluesea approval.
But right now our programs are on hold and we risk losing the permit if we do not raise $4700 by August 31.
Wildbluesea has many exciting programs and gatherings planned, but we can’t hold another event at this location unless we raise the funds.
Your help is greatly appreciated at this critical time. Please donate any amount to Wildbluesea so we can continue to hold programs on Jupiter Inlet!
Whatever you are able to give in this moment is crucial and will go a long way towards maintaining momentum for protecting wild waters. We must raise at least $4700 by August 31.
This season Wildbluesea had an incredibly successful re-launch.
A unique and exciting part of our strategy is to hold community programs at the Jupiter Lighthouse deck and property to bring people together for socials, meditative practices and traditional environmental lectures. In 3 months, we held 13 programs with over 300 happy attendees. We hope you were one of them!
Starting any project takes a lot of work (ours has been 100% volunteer). At the Lighthouse, first year federal permits are costly. We are asking for support to help cover these costs and establish the organization at this beautiful site.
The full “first year fees” are estimated $8600. We plan to have permit fees, which will be a reduced amount, covered in Year 2 of the permit as program attendance increases. But, right now our programs are on hold and we risk losing the permit if we do not raise $4700 by August 31. Let's keep the Blue Mind Movement growing together!
"A rising tide floats all boats."
Together we'll grow a community that values healthy waterways.
About Us
Our well-being depends on water.
We envision a world where human behavior is based on understanding that our well-being is directly related
to the well-being of wild waters.
We pioneer blue mind-infused coastal conservation that cultivates informed, engaged community to reshape our relationship with water, waterways and the ocean.
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. Ocean. inlet, river, lagoon. The awe, joy, peace and wonder we experience. We're focused on revealing 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 over 300 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.
