Blue Ocean Sailing Expeditions & Exploration is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to marine wildlife rescue, ocean conservation research, and hands-on education at sea.
We combine real-world sailing expeditions, scientific research, and direct conservation action to protect marine ecosystems while inspiring the next generation of ocean stewards.
Our work bridges the gap between science, education, and action—operating where conservation matters most: on the ocean itself.
We envision a future where oceans are healthy, wildlife is protected, and people are actively engaged in safeguarding the planet through direct experience, science, and stewardship.
What We Do
We get involved with marine wildlife research, monitoring, and rescue; Ocean conservation and pollution awareness; Student education through sailing expeditions; Scientific support and data collection at sea.
Why It Matters
Healthy oceans are essential to life on Earth. Our expeditions combine science, education, and action to protect marine ecosystems while inspiring people to become lifelong ocean stewards.
RESCUE
Scientific Ocean Research in the North Atlantic
Marine mammals and ocean wildlife face increasing threats from vessel strikes, entanglement, pollution, and climate change. Blue Ocean Sailing Expeditions supports and conducts marine wildlife rescue, monitoring, and research, with a strong focus on whales, dolphins, turtles, and other vulnerable species.
CONSERVATION
Environmental Monitoring & Pollution Reporting
We document debris, pollution sources, and environmental stressors in coastal and offshore environments. By operating directly at sea, we collect real-world observational data that supports conservation awareness, informs mitigation efforts, and contributes to the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems.
