Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Force blue was created to address two seemingly unrelated problems - the rapdily declining health of our planet's marine resources and the difficulty many returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life. By uniting the community of special operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation in one, mission-focused program, force blue has created a model of caring, cooperation and positive change with the power to restore lives and restore the planet.

Force blue is the only nonprofit organization in the world that retrains, retools and redeploys former special operations veterans and military-trained combat divers on missions of marine conservation.
