Sponsors | World Ocean Observatory
Our intent is to provide information and educational service at no charge to the public. To achieve this goal, we must rely on a small group of forward-looking supporters who understand the need to communicate ocean information on a global basis. We are committed to the lowest possible overhead; indeed, as a virtual enterprise and web-based collaborative, we expend no more than 2% of all funds raised on non-programmatic administrative expense.
We invite you to join the generous donors below who have contributed to our start-up and ongoing operations. To inquire how you can help, please contact us.
Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent of applicable national regulations.

DISTANCE LEARNING RESOURCES
To support all educators and parents teaching from home in the weeks ahead, the World Ocean Observatory is pulling together a compendium of home-study tools and resources for teaching and learning about the ocean. These resources can be used by parents, schools, educators and others to address the educational gaps being created by local and national ‘shelter in place’ initiatives to help flatten the curve on the Covid-19 outbreak. This list of resources is a work in progress: please reach out if you have other key elements that we should be sharing with our global community.
