SeaWeb is a nonprofit ocean conservation organization. Its mission is to raise public awareness, to advance science-based solutions, and mobilize decision-makers around ocean conservation.[1] SeaWeb was founded in 1996[2] by the Environment Group of the Pew Charitable Trust as an initiative to promote ocean conservation issues for Americans. In 1999, SeaWeb became an independent 501(c)(3) organization, funded mostly from private charitable foundations, but also from individual contributions. In 2015, SeaWeb became part of The Ocean Foundation.[3][4][5]
