In the leanest of economic times, 2009 has turned out to be one of Ocean Alliance's most productive years! With your support, we can continue to make a difference in the health of our oceans.

In the late 60’s Roger Payne with associate Scott McVay discovered that whales sing songs. These recording have now left our solar system as part of the payload of the Voyager I and II spacecraft!

With a generous grant from the Annenberg Foundation, Ocean Alliance purchased the iconic Paint Manufactory in Gloucester with a goal of restoration as an oceanographic research and education center. Please join us in this effort!

“The (Right Whale) data you hold would no doubt be the single most valuable source of information on whales and their environment available...there really is nothing else out there quite as good.”

Our research vessel Odyssey has undergone an extensive refit. All major systems have been replaced or up graded and a state of the art laboratory has been built in the aft cabin. She is ready for her next expedition.
