Work at the Foundation
Join a small, mission-driven team protecting America's marine sanctuaries through science, education, and advocacy.
About working here
The Foundation team is small enough that everyone's work visibly shapes the mission. Staff are based at the Silver Spring, Maryland headquarters with hybrid and fully-remote roles depending on function.
We offer competitive nonprofit-sector compensation, generous paid time off, health and dental coverage, a 403(b) retirement plan with Foundation match, and professional development support.
