About Us

Our Mission Statement


 Is to Save all Marine Life & Ocean Ecosystems, by Educating the Public on Overfishing, the Unregulated High Seas, & Sustainable Seafood Consumption Practices.


Our mission statement is simple, we want to save all wildlife in the oceans. How do we plan on doing this? We are educating the world's populous on which seafood options are safe to eat and which ones are detrimental to both the Environment and the Wildlife. We are advocating for local and international governments to create the Global High Seas Marine Preserve (a global sanctuary  preserve). Lastly, we are supporting all major cities in the US and abroad to adopt our "Sustainable Food City" resolution. 


Our Story


We were founded in Salt Lake City, UT in 2016. Our founder Danny Quintana was doing research for his book Space & Ocean Exploration the Alternative to the Military Industrial Complex when he discovered staggering data about earth's oceans: 50% of the ocean's wildlife is gone, 90% of the predator fish have been killed, and humans are killing 200,000 sharks everyday for shark fin soup. He said to himself, "I've got to do something about this!"; thus, Saving Oceans was created! You may be asking yourself, "Why would a non-profit that supports the oceans get started in Utah?", we get this question asked to us a lot! Our answer is that the ocean's protection reaches far beyond its shorelines. We believe that we must take collective action as consumers to make the changes we want to see in the oceans.
