Developing Leaders, Cultivating Collaboration, Accelerating Solutions

Who We Are

We are the Carolina Ocean Alliance, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that advances community-driven solutions through strategic coalitions of our partners, develops the next generation of leaders, and fosters a culture of environmental stewardship. To heal our world and heal ourselves in the process, we must see ourselves as a part of the natural world rather than apart from it by reimagining “community” through ecology.

Our MISSION

Our mission is to develop leaders, cultivate ideas, inspire hope, and accelerate solutions to protect, preserve, and restore the coastal ecosystems of South Carolina. Our “network-of-networks” approach emphasizes multi-disciplinary collaboration to promote local solutions and advance young advocates from underrepresented communities in conservation, climate change, and regenerative processes.
