What We Do
A multi-angled approach to protecting the coastlines we love — combining visual storytelling, community-driven research, and targeted habitat defense.
What We Believe
“At My Clean Ocean, we believe that protecting our coastlines requires a multi-angled approach. By combining the power of visual storytelling, community-driven research, and targeted habitat defense, we are actively working to preserve the fragile marine ecosystems of Southern California and beyond.”
Pillar One
Venturing into the deep to document what exists, what is thriving, and what is under threat. Every expedition builds a visual record of our changing oceans.
Pillar Two
Using professional Nikon Z9 cameras, Seacam housings, and Insta360 systems to capture footage that changes how the public sees and understands the ocean.
Pillar Three
From kelp forest restoration to beach cleanups to youth empowerment programs — turning visual awareness into direct, boots-on-the-ground action.

Project · Blue Lens
What people cannot see, they cannot protect.
Blue Lens masters the art of underwater visual storytelling — bringing high-quality imagery and filmmaking to the surface to shine a spotlight on the hidden beauty of our oceans and the urgent challenges they face.

Project · Citizen Science
Real change happens when communities get involved.
Citizen Science bridges the gap between advanced marine technology and everyday ocean advocates. We equip volunteers with the tools and training to conduct meaningful, peer-reviewed research right from the shoreline.

Project · Guardian of the Kelp
California has lost 90% of its kelp forests since 2014.
Guardian of the Kelp is our most ambitious initiative — a youth-led restoration program combining hands-on kelp out-planting, long-term ecological monitoring, and underwater documentation to bring California’s kelp forests back to life.

Project · Youth Ocean Experience
You cannot protect an ocean you have never touched.
The Youth Ocean Experience puts young people on a working vessel for a full day at sea — hands-on seamanship, wild marine encounters, and their first real relationship with the ocean, at zero cost to their families.

Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share our story — every action helps protect the ocean we all depend on.
