Who We Are

Sustainable Ocean Alliance is a global community of youth, entrepreneurs, and experts, all collaborating to solve the greatest challenges facing our ocean.

 

What began in 2014 in a Georgetown dorm room has turned into the largest youth-led network of ocean allies in the world.

Reaching 6,000+ people in 165 countries, SOA was born to accelerate solutions, cultivate leaders and create a community that will restore the ocean in our lifetime.
