We’re excited and honored that our Executive Director, Duane Silverstein, has been named an Ocean Hero by The Salty Hands! The Canada-based organization promotes solutions that support ocean regeneration and spotlights individuals leading the way for healthier oceans. Here’s some of what they had to say.

“Inspiring leaders have a profound influence on the organisations which they serve and the myriad of partners and staff with whom they work. Ethical and inspiring leaders also help to galvanize momentum and support to make the projects they work on have lasting impact and success.

Duane Silverstein, who has been the Executive Director of the non-profit Seacology since 1999, is a truly inspirational and remarkable leader. That’s why we recognize him as an Ocean Hero today. In fact, Seacology has been named one of the top US nonprofits to work for, which speaks a thousand words for Duane’s impressive leadership and ethos.”
