Unlike environmental organizations that attempt to effect change from without, the Caribbean SEA works to make a difference from within. Our organization seeks business leaders from island nations who will sponsor local environmental projects. Caribbean SEA staff and volunteers then train local educators and students to design, implement, and monitor projects that conserve the local marine ecosystems. Through these efforts, the next generation of leaders will protect the environment which provides economic stability to the islands.

  Caribbean SEA has seen much success since our founding in 2004!  Part of that has been to include work in the Tennessee Valley, through our subsidiary, Tenne-SEA Clean Water Project and our outdoor gear re-sale shop, The Gear Closet.  Through collaboration with the electric utilities, government entities,   resorts, and community groups, thousands of students and teachers are more attuned to conservation of their local resources.

The main office of Caribbean SEA is in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  We also have an office in St. Lucia from which our Program Director works.
