Ocean Future Society's comprehensive, multi-phased ocean exploration and communications project will dramatically alter the way the public and the scientific community view the planet. Through the creation and deployment of a network of research vessels, land and ocean-based technology, Global Ocean Network will report, record and monitor worldwide environmental events, in real time. A high-tech communications web of satellites, the internet, interactive kiosks and broadcast media will bring powerful images of these events to the world’s attention, raising awareness of threats to the planet and encouraging global action.  English | En Français

Ocean Futures Society’s hands-on, outdoor science-education program. Ambassadors is designed to inspire our youth with a sense of hope by providing them the knowledge and tools to be better stewards of our natural resources through positive action. Focusing on principles of biology and ecology, students are challenged to compare what they learn with how their own communities back home operate, exploring which is more sustainable and why. Infused into the educational adventure are opportunities for students to learn about themselves and others through positive risk taking and teamwork. The program currently serves over 10,000 students each year at Catalina Island, near Los Angeles California, at Point Bonita – Marin Headlands, north of San Francisco, and in Kona, Hawai’i. Future program sites include the British Virgin Islands. Ambassadors of the Environment is now in Santa Barbara County! We offer free, multimedia environmental programs for grades K- 8 in the Tri-Counties region, which have already reached over 1,500 local students. To learn more about school outreach and our camp programs, visit the Ambassadors website at www.aote.org.  English | En Français

Coral reefs are in crisis. The goal of Ocean Futures' Sustainable Reefs program is to show people, especially from coastal and island nations, the value of coral reefs, how they are threatened by human activity, and what can be done to protect them. The link between abuses like pollution, destructive fishing practices and global warming, and their harm to the reef is made in order to inspire positive action. Sustainable Reefs communicates its message through culturally appropriate and entertaining educational resources, including a colorful video and cartoon book in local languages, presented by local celebrities, to show adults and teach young people the value of saving threatened reefs.  English | En Français
