BUILDING MCN FLORIDA: MANATEES, DOLPHINS & MORE
Marine Conservation Network is expanding its outreach into Florida, building new relationships and opportunities focused on marine wildlife education, conservation awareness, and community involvement.
Our developing Florida work will focus on manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, and other vulnerable marine wildlife, while connecting with organizations, educators, volunteers, and communities working to protect Florida’s coastal ecosystems.
As part of this outreach, MCN has begun visiting marine conservation organizations and sharing educational reports from the field, including a recent visit to Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
This is the beginning of a larger effort to build partnerships, expand Ocean Guardian involvement, and create meaningful conservation opportunities across Florida.

THE GRAY WHALE PROJECT: STRONGER PROTECTION
The Gray Whale Emergency Project: Mobilizing to Protect a Species in Crisis
Update: 2,257 supporters have signed our petition calling for stronger protections for California’s gray whales — and that number continues to grow.
Gray whales are in trouble — and they need our voice now. Documented strandings along the California coast have revealed ongoing threats including food shortages, vessel strikes, pollution, entanglement in ghost netting, and warming waters. These whales are vital indicators of ocean health — and their struggle demands urgent attention.
Marine Conservation Network is responding with rapid awareness and advocacy to protect gray whales and the ecosystems they depend on.

Green Lighthouse Project
Reimagining Platform Holly for Ocean Conservation
The Green Lighthouse Project explores a bold future for Platform Holly — transforming a former offshore industrial site into a hub for marine research, renewable energy, conservation, and public education.
Rather than viewing decommissioning only as removal, the project looks at how existing offshore infrastructure could potentially be repurposed to support ocean health, scientific research, education, and long-term environmental benefit.
Marine Conservation Network continues to raise awareness of the concept, encourage dialogue, and support solutions that balance environmental protection with innovative thinking about the future of our ocean.
