Wyland Foundation

Wyland Foundation


The Wyland Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1993 by environmental marine life artist Wyland, is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving the world’s oceans, waterways, and marine life. The foundation encourages environmental awareness through education programs, life-size public arts projects, and community events.

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest tools in the effort to protect our water planet is knowledge. Wyland’s art has the unique ability to transform all who view it to a greater awareness. By bridging the worlds of art and science, the Wyland Foundation strives to inspire people of all ages to become better stewards of our oceans and precious water resources. The future of our planet is in the hands of our children. The Wyland Foundation strives to inspire as many people as possible to learn more about our oceans and aquatic habitats and the life within them, and to encourage people to get involved.

One person can indeed make a difference.
