Sustainable Ocean Alliance at the University of Maryland
About
We are a student-led club dedicated to ocean advocacy and conservation. We strive to raise awareness of the relationship humans have with the ocean and involve the campus community in solutions to promote healthy marine ecosystems.
We aim to foster a community of passion and social action, tackling ever more important threats facing the ocean through advocacy and activism. Our past events have included stream cleanups, documentary screenings, tree planting, bake sales, arts & craft nights, educational tabling, and more!
Anyone is welcome to join! We are a friendly and goofy group of people who like to appreciate and protect one of the many features that make our planet so unique: our beautiful oceans.
Our meetings for Spring 2024:
- General Body Meetings: Mondays, 7–8pm in HJ Patterson Global Crossroads Atrium
- Clean-ups: Sundays, 11am–12pm between the Brendan Iribe Center and CSI
