Passionately Defending Our Ocean From Threat

Our ocean defenders encompass a vital role in 1ODYSEA's mission. We see them as a combination of many pieces that include our dive team, boat crew, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, first responders, rescue operations, as well as the beginning phase in rehabilitating marine animals. Essentially anyone who proactively aids and assists in 1ODYSEA's mission can be called an ocean defender. The message of 1 Dream, 1 Team, 1 Ocean, is an ocean defender’s motto and we strive to be ambassadors for the ocean and its marine life community. We have a vision that will allow us to assist other countries as they also assist us, ever reminding us that there has always only been 1 ocean and solidifying 1ODYSEA's belief in world unity. If there is a need, no matter the distance, our ocean defenders will rise to the occasion. It may be as simple as an ocean floor marine debris pickup, or as big an operation as rescuing and or successfully releasing marine wildlife back to its natural habitat.

Ocean Defenders’ Goals

One of the main goals we have at 1ODYSEA is to obtain a vessel that would constantly be ready to go at a moment's notice to rescue or respond to a marine life crisis. This would be a fully functional, fully operational vessel, able to support numerous ocean defenders, and can stay out at sea for as long as needed. It may include an international team of experts in their respective fields complete with onboard research labs. Some of our ocean defenders will be taking part in rehabbing juveniles and injured wildlife so that they can be given a chance to thrive and be safely returned to their environment. Volunteers are also included as ocean defenders helping with feeding and rehabilitation to ensure survival giving them the care and respect they deserve. All along teaching an unbelievably valuable lesson to everyone that we are their voice and their chance to live a full life. All we ask to become an ocean defender is that a person be willing to take action and practice and instill the core beliefs we aspire to practice in our lives. Foundationally, we believe in unity, love, education, dedication, and determination. Individually, we are one drop, together we are an ocean!
