“Save Our Seas programs are stimulating, academically sound, and effectively and efficiently organized.” -      Dr. Brian Tissot, Professor Marine Biology

1.) “Ocean Pulse” Marine Education  Ocean Pulse is a comprehensive study of coral reefs and the marine environment that uses our ocean and beaches as living classrooms. “Ocean Pulse at Sea,” is a drug-free marine education program that teaches our youth how to utilize the same techniques as professional marine biologists on research boats.

Improving sustainable island and coastal management visions through improved environmental education programs and teacher trainings

“Ocean Pulse Education Programs will help coral reef communities better understand and ultimately conserve their island reefs.”  -  Dolphin Log / Cousteau Society

2.) “SOS TV” Marine Multi Media Production  The best way to raise public awareness is through the universal media of photographic, television and film production. The goal is to inspire positive involvement within local communities so that the global threats regarding the oceans and reefs can be addressed. - YOU TUBE TO BLUE TUBE -

3.) Community Awareness about Marine Managed Areas on Kaua’i  Kaua’i is the only island in Hawai’i that does not have any Marine Managed Areas. “Areas set aside from misuse today, will contribute to biodiversity and prosperity tomorrow.” Marine managed areas on the Garden Island of Kaua’i are necessary immediately with the help and guidance of the community and Kupuna (wise elders).

4.) SOS “International Clean Oceans Conference”  The Mission of the SOS International Clean Oceans Conference is to create a model educational forum for the open exchange of ideas, to promote conservation of our oceans through community and corporate partnership, and to increase awareness through active participation in preserving our world's greatest natural resource ­- our oceans.

5.)SOS (Sustainable Ocean Studies) MAREC “Marine Awareness, Research and Education Center ”  Innovation and education. Technology and and proactive hands on learning.

6.)SOS Land And Sea Innovative Aquaculture & Agriculture Production and Education, is a sustainable organic polyculture site (aquaculture/agriculture) incorporating fish farming, floriculture and native/indigenous plant production. Local Schools and non-profit organizations partner to produce goods that help sustain community awareness projects while educating our island residents about ways that they can make a difference.  A percentage of funds raised go to support local non-profits and schools.

7.) Continue to conduct Valuable Research & Beach Clean Ups  For the past seven years, Save Our Seas has been conducting research in many aspects of marine conservation. In 1997, SOS teamed up with Reef Check to conduct their organizations first coral reef survey. Since then, Reef Check has become an internationally renowned institute. Other partnerships include the Cousteau Society, NOAA, University of Hawai’i Sea Grant Program, Surfrider Foundation, Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Sanctuary and many more. SOS is currently monitoring many reef systems around the island, conducting fish turtle, and humpback whale counts, taking water quality samples, and researching monk seals and marine mammals. The data collected has proven to be extremely valuable.

SOS coastal cleanups have been a success for many years. Students and community members have come together to clean many of the beaches and coastlines around Hawaii. SOS works to A'ole 'Opala, (Pack Your Trash) for present and future generations.

8.) Building a strong Membership & Volunteer Program Members and volunteers are the backbone of many SOS programs.  – It’s time to roll up our sleeves (or put on a wetsuit) and get to work. It is our goal to increase our memberships and promote environmental awareness. Enthusiasm is contagious and our volunteer program is steadily growing. The volunteers provide much appreciated assistance in all areas of the SOS programs, but we need more help. Funding is desperately needed to enhance our Organization and Volunteer Programs.
