Legacy Members
Since the inception of SeaKeepers in 1998, membership formed the foundation of engagement and support, with two top tiers of participation leading the way: the Admiral Club and Founding Members. The support and dedication of these members helped establish SeaKeepers and advance our mission through its inaugural year and beyond. Through their commitment, Admiral Club and Founding Members made a significant investment in our oceans and enabled SeaKeepers to pioneer the use of private vessels to facilitate ocean research, conservation, and education.
Admiral Club ($250,000+)
Admiral Club Members were part of an elite group of SeaKeepers’ most generous benefactors and were individually recognized at exclusive social and scientific functions hosted by SeaKeepers. The Society furnished ocean monitoring, preservation, and restoration initiatives aligned with the goals of these members. Admiral Club Members were also permanently listed on all SeaKeepers collateral materials.
