Oceanic Society
Oceanic Society is a California-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to conserving marine wildlife and habitats by deepening the connections between people and nature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oceanicsociety.org )〕 The organization was founded in San Francisco in 1969 by George C. Kiskaddon, founder of Marine Chartering Company, and Dr. Jerold M. Lowenstein, director of the Pacific Institute of Nuclear Medicine.
== Early history ==
After its foundation in 1969, Oceanic Society grew rapidly in the San Francisco Bay Area through membership drives, citizen science programs involving Bay Area yacht owners, and an Expeditions program. The organization's initial focus was on environmental issues in the Pacific Ocean, but the Bay Area chapter simultaneously sought to create a model that would be re-created by chapters worldwide.
In 1974, Christopher du Pont Roosevelt, grandson of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, took on the leadership of Oceanic Society and served as the organization's president, CEO, and trustee until 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=17687 )〕 Under Roosevelt's leadership the organization moved its headquarters to Stamford, Connecticut and expanded nationally to more than 60,000 members in 5 chapters.
