Ocean Alliance Inc Information

Ocean Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization. For more than 40 years the organization has worked to protect and conserve the marine environment. The organization is based in the iconic Tarr & Wonson Paint Manufactory in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 1971 by biologist Roger Payne. Led by Payne and Chief Executive Officer Iain Kerr, Ocean Alliance collects a broad spectrum of data on whales and ocean life relating particularly to toxicology, behavior, bioacoustics, and genetics. From that data, the alliance works with scientific partners to advise educators and policy makers on wise stewardship of the oceans in order to: reduce pollution, prevent the collapse of marine mammal populations, maintain human access to fish and other sea life, and benefit ocean and human health.
