The Ocean Science Foundation (OSF) is committed to research on endangered tropical marine ecosystems, in particular, the ecology of coral reefs.

We work with conservation, academic and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on projects in developing countries.

Mission Statement: The Ocean Science Foundation (OSF) is a non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) set up to facilitate research on endangered tropical marine ecosystems. Our mission is to collaborate with conservation and academic NGOs in scientific research projects based in developing countries, especially projects on the ecology and conservation of coral reefs. Among other efforts, OSF is developing a 53-foot catamaran as a research platform for projects in the field.

Activities

OSF has acquired and is refitting the vessel RV Darwin in Long Beach, California. We plan to sail it south to Baja California sometime in 2008 and base it in the city of La Paz BCS.
