Our Mission
Raising awareness about the connection between Ohio and global ocean health
Water connects us all.
Our actions in Ohio affect the rest of the planet because all waterways are interconnected.
This map by Robert Szucs demonstrates how all rivers and tributaries in the USA are intertwined and lead to the Great Lakes or the ocean. This means what we put in the water in Ohio will ultimately enter our beautiful Great Lakes or the Gulf of Mexico, where it will mix into the global ocean system.
The ocean produces 50% of Earth’s oxygen.
No matter where we live, we can thank the ocean for one out of every two breaths we take.
