SeaVibe’s mission is to increase education and employment opportunities that strengthen the connection between people and nature: beyond our backyards…into communities…across the globe.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit education organization offering university and high school internships, scholarships, SCUBA classes, snorkeling, kayaking, eco-tours, outdoor experiential education, K-16 & home school programs, transformative travel, cultural exchange experiences, community art exhibits and mural projects.
SeaVibe motivates a growing tribe of “water keepers” to protect the sacred waterways that support life on Earth for all living today, and for future generations.
We unite and empower community leaders of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds working together to address environmental and social issues in their neighborhoods.
“We must create mentoring relationships, mentoring communities, and mentoring techniques, knowing that we often have to do the work that no one else wants to do and that no one else understands.”

Visionary projects build on locally-relevant interdisciplinary research taking place at schools, universities,
outdoors in parks, marine research centers, aquariums, and in communities around the world.
The opportunity to work alongside professionals solving real-world problems makes learning science, technology, engineering, math, chemistry, biology, and even physics fun, meaningful, and intriguing! Pictured below is Dr. Iris Segura-Garcia demonstrating lobster experiments, genetics, and molecular ecology research at Smithsonian Marine Station and Ecosystems Exhibits on World Ocean Day. Join her talk on March 26, 2025 on Seagrass: The Ecosystem’s Backbone in the Indian River Lagoon, part of the Marine Science in the Morning Series at St. Lucie County Aquarium.

SeaVibe Foundation programs are developed through the lens of arts and humanities (STEAM and eARTh projects).
Students often travel to participate in global field studies to work alongside and increase understanding of other cultures and ecosystems worldwide. Participants experience science from interdisciplinary perspectives and discover how collective positive actions on land can improve the quality of our lives and rivers, lakes, springs, wetlands, and the ocean.
K-16 students partner with faculty sponsors and graduate student mentors to conduct field work, analyze data, and collaborate on creative art and photography exhibits at public events to practice science communication skills in the real world.

SeaVibe Foundation worked with Academic Vocational Charter Institute, Monterey Bay Area high schools, University of California at Santa Cruz, and City of Watsonville to implement the SeaVibe Community, Water & Art Internship. Students won 2nd Place at Earth Day Santa Cruz for their water quality research at Pinto Lake in Watsonville, California. We painted a mural at their school and attended research symposiums at Seymour Marine Discovery Center and the Latin American and Latino Studies Department at University of California, Santa Cruz.
