Cape Cod Ocean Community

The Mission

Our mission is to establish safer beach recreation using technology to coexist with sharks. We strive to preserve and promote the ocean way of life of those living, working, and vacationing in our coastal communities, without harming or otherwise negatively impacting marine life and balance.
Further, we work to minimize the public safety concerns and negative economic impacts associated with the increase in human encounters with white sharks in those communities.

The Vision

Revitalize the Cape Cod ocean way of life in a way that becomes an exemplary model for the world to follow.

The Action

Our role is to connect, collaborate, educate, facilitate, and inform within the community.
