Blue Ocean Society Logo

Blue Ocean Society

Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation was founded in 2001 by two whale watch naturalists, Jen Kennedy and Dianna Schulte, who saw a need for more research and education about the ocean. We strive to learn more about the Gulf of Maine, particularly an important habitat called Jeffreys Ledge, and then bring our research to the public through various outreach programs. By sharing information with the public and resource managers, more people will be inspired to learn more about the marine environment and help protect it.
