My Nonprofit Reviews

Ocean Defender's Alliance Is simply the best. As a Naturalist for the American Cetacean Society, Marine Biology Teacher, and a new member of their crew, I can speak from experience. Kurt Lieber has a passion that is infectious. We see whale entanglements off our Southern California Coast several times a year. We participate in several beach clean ups. But what happens when the gear is abandoned/lost in the ocean? How do we protect our whales, sea lions, sharks and other marine life then? Enter ODA. Who knows how many animals have lived as a direct result of the gear and lines being found and pulled from the sea before the entanglement occurs. I can't speak highly enough about Kurt and all of the volunteers that are the force behind this organization.
