At Ocean Discovery Institute, we prioritize the leveraging of resources by building strong partnerships with other non-profits, universities, government agencies and local community groups. These partnerships enable us to maximize our dollars and reach more youth with stronger programs throughout the year. Our partners range from Swan Canyon Neighborhood Association to the University of California, San Diego and from groups of fishermen in Baja California, Mexico to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
