The Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation is a Portsmouth, NH-based

goal is to inspire passion in people to conserve the marine environment, and
it does that through organizing beach cleanups, studying whales and
conducting educational programs. Funding for the Society’s beach cleanups
comes from the New Hampshire Coastal Program/New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services, the NOAA Marine Debris Program and private
donations. More information can be found online at www.blueoceansociety.org
