Oceanic Society News

In Cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Oceanic Society has produced a film, Farallon Islands Past, Present and Future, to raise public awareness and foster a conservation ethic about the Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.. Produced as a DVD to allow widespread distribution, it emphasizes the importance of continued protection of this important and sensitive habitat.

Oceanic Society, a nonprofit marine conservation organization, has been granted a permit by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and State of Hawai‘i to conduct educational expeditions to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and the Battle of Midway National Memorial beginning in March 2008. The refuge and national memorial also serve as the "window" to Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, the only site within the Monument open to the public.
