Ocean Rescue Alliance International is a marine conservation nonprofit that combines reef restoration, coastal resilience, scientific research, and public engagement to rebuild ocean ecosystems. The organization is particularly known for creating artificial reef structures that serve both as marine habitat and public art installations, including its 1000 Mermaids project, which transforms personal stories and artistic expression into permanent underwater reefs. Its work spans coral, oyster, and mangrove restoration, reef monitoring, citizen science, and educational programs that connect communities directly to marine conservation efforts. By blending science, restoration, and creative design, the organization has developed a distinctive approach to expanding marine habitat while fostering long-term public stewardship of the ocean.
