Blue Harmony was co-founded by Hillard Witt, Pete Guinosso, and Tom Hansch, united by a shared love for the ocean and a commitment to its preservation. Their passion for marine conservation stems from a lifetime of connection to the sea, from family traditions like abalone diving to exploring the wonders of coastal ecosystems.
As a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit organization, Blue Harmony addresses critical challenges facing our oceans, including plastic pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. By inspiring collective action through education, collaboration, and sustainable practices, the organization strives to restore balance to marine environments and protect them for future generations.
At its heart, Blue Harmony is an environmental nonprofit rooted in a deep respect for family traditions and the natural world. Hillard’s upbringing, harvesting abalone with his family, and Pete’s transformative experience diving in Northern California shaped their commitment to ocean conservation. These personal stories reflect the organization’s ethos: that honoring our connection to the ocean is essential to preserving it.
As an environmental nonprofit, Blue Harmony’s work goes beyond advocacy; it embodies a collective responsibility to address climate change, overfishing, and pollution. By fostering partnerships and leading impactful initiatives, the organization strives to safeguard marine ecosystems and the communities they sustain.
The reality is stark: our oceans are facing unprecedented challenges that threaten their health and the vibrant ecosystems they support. From climate change and rising temperatures to plastic pollution and habitat destruction, the signs of distress are all around us. Coral reefs are bleaching, marine life is declining, and the delicate balance of our ocean ecosystems is at risk. As stewards of the sea, we cannot remain silent in the face of this crisis.
As an environmental nonprofit, Blue Harmony believes it’s not too late to turn the tide. Every action counts, and we must come together to address the urgent threats facing our oceans. By raising awareness, advocating for sustainable practices, and participating in conservation efforts, we can create a positive impact and restore the health of our marine environments.
