World Ocean Observatory is a small nonprofit based in Sedgwick, Maine, dedicated to informing the public about ocean health and mobilizing public interest in marine issues. It acts as a global hub for ocean communication, providing information and education across topics from climate and freshwater to governance and culture. The organization emphasizes that the sea connects all things and advocates for changes in behavior on land and at sea to sustain marine resources. It operates within the nonprofit sector as an accessible worldwide network for education, partnership, information exchange, and sustained communication about ocean health and sustainability. Its audience includes global citizens, educators, policymakers, and institutions seeking reliable ocean information to guide decision-making. A notable development is the 2022 collaboration with Schmidt Ocean Institute to launch the World Ocean Explorer DEEP SEA exhibit, an immersive virtual aquarium showcasing deep-sea discoveries.
