Ocean Connectors is a non-profit organization based in National City, California, focused on educating and connecting youth in underserved Pacific coastal communities through the study of migratory marine life. It offers environmental education programs for students in the United States and Mexico and runs public coastal Eco Tours in San Diego, engaging thousands of students each year in marine science and ocean conservation. Migratory marine species traverse California’s coastal waters on their way to nesting, feeding, and breeding grounds in Mexico, a fact that informs its program orientation. The organization targets public schools in National City and Nayarit, Mexico, and collaborates with nonprofit partners, volunteers, and teachers to provide diverse, hands-on coastal learning. Ocean Connectors operates as a fiscal sponsorship project of The Ocean Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In 2020, it began developing virtual education materials to expand interaction with San Diego Bay and the Pacific coast.
