Why SeaKeepers Needs Your Support

The International SeaKeepers Society is an organization of international leaders that promotes synergy among citizens, governments, educational institutions and corporations to restore and protect the world’s oceans. Members of the SeaKeepers Society recognize the ocean’s critical importance to the life of our planet and are deeply committed to finding real-world solutions to the problems now plaguing our seas.

Over the centuries, and especially in the last 50 years, we have become ever more efficient at using the oceans for our own need at the expense of their health and of our long-term well being. If the declining trends in ocean health continue - clearly visible now in the form of dramatically increasing tropical systems, El Nino and La Nina climate inversions, melting polar ice, collapsing marine food-chains, proliferation of red tide and other marine pollution and contamination events – we can expect the ramifications to affect every aspect of our lives. These negative impacts will easily include the global economy, human health and the everyday life of billions of people. Two blue-ribbon, non-partisan commissions have recently confirmed that our oceans on the brink of crisis, and that we need to act now to reverse these trends. Our Society is increasingly aware of the above disastrous developments and is striving to relentlessly promote implementation of change.

As an important first step in conserving the world’s oceans, we developed the SeaKeeper 1000™, an innovative modular monitoring system, designed to collect data from seafaring vessels, piers, lighthouses and buoys. These automated systems are plotting a wide and continuous picture of critical measures of ocean health, such as salinity, temperature, oxygen, pollution, etc., for the scientific and public communities. Answering a need for economical ocean-monitoring, and contributing to the greater good of an enhanced global ocean-observing system, SeaKeepers is providing pro bono licensing of its proprietary modular technology to manufacturers, government agencies and scientific institutions.

Another key SeaKeepers program is the distribution of our "11 Critical Ocean Issues" publication, a plain language document generated with broad, non-partisan input that teaches and encourages all citizens how to actively practice ocean conservation. We encourage our members and the public to create and seize opportunities with the media, fellow leaders of industry, friends, politicians and others, to discuss the plight of the ocean, its importance and the need for action now.

Please join the International SeaKeepers Society’s membership of entrepreneurs, yachtsmen, corporations, divers, scientists and concerned citizens in building this global effort to help restore and protect the world’s oceans.
