Corporate programs

Happy employees, happy planet

Sea Smart’s corporate beach cleanups, lunch and learn programs, and corporate partnerships are fun and powerful ways to engage staff while fulfilling your corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. Corporate programs are proven to boost productivity, increase workplace satisfaction, and reduce employee turnover.

Designed and led by expert marine biologists and environmental educators, our hands-on programs foster learning and growth while encouraging individuals to develop new skills. Show staff you care about them and that your organization is serious about making the world a better place.
