Supporting environmental leadership, community development, and capacity-building for coastal organizations and individuals.

Our mission is simple but powerful.

At Sea Change Canada, we focus on fostering connections between coastal communities and Canadians all over the country to raise awareness of the different struggles and issues coastal regions experience. We also promote partnership-building for significant and lasting change by celebrating and uniting grassroots groups that present unique solutions to complex environmental challenges.
