Information about Ocean Alliance
Ocean Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization, was founded in 1971 by biologist Roger Payne. Led by Dr. Payne and Chief Executive Officer Iain Kerr, Ocean Alliance collects a broad spectrum of data on whales and ocean life relating particularly to toxicology, behavior, bioacoustics, and genetics. From that data we work with our scientific partners to advise educators and policy makers on wise stewardship of the oceans to: reduce pollution, prevent the collapse of marine mammal populations, maintain human access to fish and other sea life, and benefit ocean and human health.
The Ocean Alliance is dedicated to the conservation of whales and their ocean environment through research and education.
"What happens to beasts will happen to man. All things are connected. If the great beasts are gone men would surely die of a great loneliness of spirit." - Chief Seattle, 1884
