Ollie & Friends

There’s a whole world in here too

Six characters, one shallow coral reef, and a running argument about whether hide-and-seek is for babies. The comic is free to read while you wait for the kit, and the Ocean Club is where it stops being a story.

Ollie's Ocean Club

Ollie's reef is real. So is the mess in it.

The stories are made up. The ocean isn't. The Ocean Club gives kids three small things they can actually do — and puts their name in the comic when they do them.

Take the pledge

One promise, in a kid's own words, about one thing they'll do for the ocean. Printable certificate with their name on it.

Draw a friend

Send in a character. Every month one gets redrawn by our artist and written into an episode of Ollie's Adventures.

Do a real thing

A beach cleanup, a plastic-free week, a school project. Log it, and the Ocean Club map fills in where the crew has been.

Conservancy partnerships are in conversation. We won't name an organization here until one has said yes in writing.
