  • Action
    • Less Harmful Products

      Instead of carcinogenic weed killers like glyphosate and toxic cleaners and solvents, there are other options that don't involve dangerous chemicals that harm the ocean.

      Nontoxic products

      The seafloor
      Cleaning up the Seafloor
      Retrieving leaking tanks, plastic, fishing gear and other trash.

      OCEAN EVENTS

      Watchdogs members support all ocean ecology organizations and activities like magnet fishing and beach cleanup. (Are you a diver? We want YOU for Seafloor Cleanup Days!)

We're a nonprofit action company.

 

 

We're using new technologies to monitor and preserve ocean ecosystems.

Research

We test seafood for radiation, heavy metal content and chemical contamination.

Our Sea Star Survey seeks intertidal Pisaster ocreacius sea stars along the Pacific coast to compare environmental conditions with hope that a restoration plan is possible.

EDUCATION

Our unique learning games make it fun to know your ocean.

Our safe-for-kids online games don't require downloads or registration.

We lobby and produce public service messages focused on reducing single-use plastics, especially water bottles...

...and toxic waste runoff into the ocean...

...especially from pesticides containing glyphosate.

ACTION

Our seafloor surveys look for trash and discarded materials that can be harmful to marine life.

Watchdogs eco-voyages and whale-watching field trips provide gigantic experiences for all ages.

RESOURCES FOR OCEAN PEOPLE

Our website provides consolidated current marine conditions, live ocean cams, ocean events and other resources.

We're creating a force for ocean health and education.
