OUR TEAM

RICH GERMAN

FOUNDER

Rich has been paddleboarding off the coast of Laguna Beach, California with dolphins and whales virtually every day since 2010. An encounter with a pod of 4 orcas in 2015 garnered international media attention and connected him with some of the leading ocean conservationist organizations. When he learned firsthand about the peril our ocean and the marine life are facing, his hobby turned into a passion to protect them.
