Founded in 2003 by Mercedes Lee and Carl Safina, the Blue Ocean Institute works to protect and improve habitat for all marine life, and particularly seafood species. The not-for-profit organization uses science, art, and literature to inspire a closer connection with the sea. Partnering with other conservation organizations, artists, chefs, academic experts, scientists, retailers, foundations and ocean enthusiasts, Blue Ocean Institute brings information together about the sustainability of species and delivers it right to the restaurant table via text message on its famous Fish Phone. 

The Institute has a staff of nine, including the two founders, scientists, writers, and program directors. Together they run nine programs, including:

• Sea Ethic
• SAVING THE OCEAN!
• Seafood
• Climate Change
• Education
• Art & Poetry
• Safe Sea
