CALLIE MAE SEA FOUNDATION AT A GLANCE

Who We Are

Callie Mae Sea Foundation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Since 2008 our founder, Dr. Virginia Schweiss, has known that her mission in life was to help sustain the oceans for us and our future generations.  After receiving her PhD, Ginger has gone on to teach for numerous universities across the country as she followed her military husband. Still no matter where she has been she has worked tirelessly to help conserve our precious marine resources through her three pillars: Education, Protection, and Research.   Family and friends have asked how they can help with her efforts so with a lot of thought and research we ultimately decided to launch Callie Mae Sea Foundation to help conserve for future generations.
