Protecting sea turtles & ocean habitats — from ghost-gear to rescue to coral restoration.
We remove derelict fishing gear, support rescue & rehab, cultivate coral farms, and mobilize volunteers for clean beaches and healthy seas.
Impact Goals (Targets)

Mission & Vision
Mission: Remove ocean hazards, rescue imperiled wildlife, grow coral farms, and empower communities to restore healthy seas.
Vision: A connected Caribbean–Americas corridor where turtle migration routes and reef habitats are safe from ghost gear, plastic, and bleaching—and communities are trained and paid to keep it that way.
Caribbean–Americas Corridor
Primary focus: Florida Keys ↔ Bahamas ↔ TCI ↔ DR/PR/USVI/BVI ↔ Leewards ↔ Windwards ↔ ABC ↔ Belize. Secondary: U.S. Southeast & Gulf on request by networks and partners.
Transparency & Goals
We share our future impact goals so supporters can see exactly what we’re working toward: ghost gear removed, rescues supported, cleanups hosted, and coral farms grown. As we progress, these targets will turn into live counts.
Operation Dragnet
Goal: Remove ghost nets and derelict lines from the Atlantic corridor—Florida Keys ↔ Bahamas ↔ TCI ↔ DR/PR/USVI/BVI ↔ Leewards ↔ Windwards—prioritizing turtle migration lanes and reef habitats. We coordinate reports, deploy retrieval crews, and ensure safe recycling or disposal.
Funding Target
Estimated funds to fully cover Season One ops: vessels, lift gear, safety & insurance, and recycling logistics.
Partners & Affiliates
We collaborate with rescue networks, reef restoration programs, coastal communities, and mission-aligned brands. Written MOUs ensure fair-market rates, safety, insurance, and transparent reporting.
