Ocean Blue Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and conserve the environment through education and reducing pollution. OBP-utilizes an organic approach including mycofiltration which uses fungi in urban streams, environmental outreach, and community engagement.

OBP’s goals are to empower communities and beyond by providing planning and providing technical assistance to landowners, communities, and local governments. Our main focus and goal is to improve urban water quality by using a holistic ecosystem based approach that synergistically reduces pollutants entering the river, prevents erosion, and provides wildlife habitat. Through the process of restoration, we are providing environmental education, connecting people in the community to their natural environment, and improving biodiversity.

Our Vision is to lower Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and E, Coli from animal waste on The Ocean Coat. Our goal of restoration is to create a self supporting ecosystem that is resilient to perturbation without further assistance.
