We are all responsible for the future of the ocean and the ocean’s future is our future; now with this ocean registry you can adopt your own piece. It’s a great way to connect to the ocean and pass a “piece of it” on to others, and get all of us focused on what our responsibility is. It’s a great way for people to feel personally invested in the future of our ocean and its resources.
