Oceanic Society

Oceanic Society's mission is to improve ocean health by deepening the connections between people and nature to address the root cause of its decline: human behavior. For over 50 years, the Oceanic Society has worked to inspire and empower people worldwide to take part in building a healthy future for the world’s oceans. And, they are America’s oldest non-profit organization dedicated to ocean conservation! Through a variety of programs that include everything from reducing ocean plastic pollution, curbing climate change, and saving sea turtles, they are connecting people to the ocean and solving the key ocean problems of our time.

One of the ways Oceanic Society drives its mission is through conscientious nature travel. As pioneers of eco-tourism, their expeditions are designed to positively impact the natural areas and human communities they visit, all while delivering transformative nature experiences for their travelers. Their trips focus on deepening the connection between people and nature, and promoting the adoption of ocean-friendly “Blue Habits” – personal actions that improve ocean health.

For every traveler that joins an Oceanic Society expedition, they fund four days of beach cleanups through their Plastic Pollution Offset Program, resulting in the removal of an average of 200 pounds of marine debris from the environment, per person.

As our founders have a love of travel and the ocean the partnership felt like a natural fit to co-founder and CEO, Lindsey McCoy. "I've lived on a sailboat and we chartered sailboats for family trips whenever we can, so making sure that our products were biodegradable and we could safely use them to shower on the back of the boat were so important to us. We're thrilled that our partnership with the Oceanic Society will mean that more people will get the chance to use our products to ensure less plastic and toxin-free showers while out on the ocean."
