In January 2025, the Palisades/Malibu fires swept through our community, destroying the Sea Save Foundation office and all physical assets. This devastating loss marked not only the end of a space filled with years of hard work, history, and resources, but also a profound reminder of the escalating climate crisis that fuels such disasters. Yet even in the ashes, our mission endured. The fire became both a personal and organizational turning point, strengthening our resolve to continue the fight for oceans and the planet with renewed urgency.
