The Three Pillars Of Our Organization
Our Online Courses:
We believe in raising ocean literacy, supporting the ocean through education, and supporting people's oceanic curiosities. For this reason, in August 2024, we officially launched our first course. We currently have three courses available, with three more under construction. Every course can be found here. For updates, please sign up for our mailing list!
Our Electronic Newsletter:
For those who wish to advance their marine biological knowledge, we publish an electronic marine biological newsletter approximately 5 times per month. We publish on a variety of topics within marine biology, from ecology to individual ocean creatures. We strive to have an article for everyone, & attract marine biological enthusiasts, professionals in the field, & all those with a curious mind. Each article can be found here.
Our Public Conservation Events & Public Educational Events:
We frequently conduct conservation events in California, such as Beach cleanups. We cannot do this without people like you! To find out the closest beach cleanup, please consult our Events Calendar. We appreciate each & every volunteer that we get, & highly recommend getting involved if you want to make a difference. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please email us at thepersaudfoundation@gmail.com, or consult our Eventbrite page.

What exactly does your organization do & what is its mission?
We are dedicated to raising ocean literacy, protecting the ocean through education, conservation, & public involvement. As of 2024, we run our marine biological science communication newsletter The Persaud Catalog which published 5 times per month at least, we publish online courses, & we conduct public marine biological conservation events in California. We are a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, based in the U.S.
What exactly are your online courses?
We believe in protecting the ocean through conservation, & education. Education about the sea is essential to conservation, as people cannot understand the needs of the sea & its creatures if they do not understand our ocean & its creatures. We currently have 3 available online courses, with 3 more under construction to be released soon. Our courses vary in topic, however, they typically are about oceanic animals, as people cannot understand the needs of these animals if they do not understand the animals in the first place. Our online courses can be found here.
What is the benefit of reading your newsletter?
Our newsletter, The Persaud Catalog, publishes approximately 5 times per month, with topics of articles ranging from individual marine animals, to how marine resources were used in different areas historically. In addition, we conduct interviews with marine scientists, ocean ecologists, conservationists, & science communicators alike to share the beauty, value, & wonder of the ocean & marine science with as many people as possible. We work our hardest to provide interesting, informative, & engaging articles to our supporters.
