The Ocean Project is unique in many ways. Formed by senior representatives of several aquariums and conservation organizations in the late 1990s, The Ocean Project’s advisors include some of the most well-respected thinkers and doers in the aquarium, zoo, and conservation communities, as well as incredibly talented young people from around the world.

Our World Oceans Day Youth Advisory Council is helping develop the reach and impact of World Oceans Day, especially by engaging youth, the media,  and decision-makers. Our Leadership Council and Advisory Council serve as consultative bodies to assist The Ocean Project team in various aspects related to our strategic direction and key initiatives.
