Ocean Defenders Alliance

Ocean Defenders Alliance "is a 501c3 nonprofit grassroots marine conservation group founded and based since 2002 in Orange County, California.  ODA is committed to protecting Southern California's near shore rocky reef and seabed ecosystems from dangerous man-made objects, especially derelict commercial fishing gear left at sea. After preparing our first boat for the unique mission, ODA's earnest on-water SCUBA activities began in the summer of 2004, complementing our consistent land-based outreach and education programs."
