To have a healthy planet, we need a healthy ocean, and to have healthy oceans, we must protect and restore the health of the lands, waters, and communities upstream. Carolina Ocean Alliance is a Charleston-based nonprofit grounded in community-driven solutions, civic ecology, and the transformative power each of us has to use our unique gifts and passions to be the change we want to see in the world.​ We believe that hope is a regenerative act that we will work every day to inspire through accessible, tangible, and creative action.
