About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Ocean Foundation is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since December 2006, with its primary office located in Washington, DC. The organization specializes in marine conservation and research, delivering scientific expertise, habitat restoration services, educational programming, and environmental monitoring to federal agencies through cooperative agreements and project grants. The Foundation serves as a critical partner to the federal government in advancing ocean science, marine resource management, and coastal community engagement across multiple ocean-related initiatives.

The Ocean Foundation has demonstrated significant expertise across diverse marine conservation domains through its federal grant portfolio, which is predominantly funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under various programs including the Cooperative Research Program (CFDA 11.472), Integrated Ocean Observing System (CFDA 11.012), Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017), Marine Debris Program (CFDA 11.999), and Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431). The Foundation's service delivery includes electronic tagging research programs for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other marine species, management strategy evaluation framework development for sustainable fisheries, genetic sampling and population assessments for endangered sea turtle species, mangrove habitat restoration projects (including a 221-acre restoration in Puerto Rico's Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve valued at $802,000), ocean acidification monitoring technology development (including the "PCO2 to Go" handheld sensor system), large-scale derelict fishing gear removal from Caribbean seafloor, and environmental education programming serving thousands of students through partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Additional services include data compilation for stock assessments, Bayesian modeling and fisheries analysis, drone-based monitoring and surveying, community outreach and capacity-building workshops, and scholarship program administration through the Pier2Peer initiative. The Foundation has partnered with organizations such as Merello Marine Consulting LLC, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, and various academic and governmental entities to execute these initiatives, demonstrating its role as a coordinating entity that bridges scientific research with on-the-ground conservation implementation across U.S. ocean territories and international waters.
