How Sand + Salt Is Giving Back to the Ocean
A Commitment to Conservation
Small actions can make big waves. Sand + Salt’s commitment to ocean conservation is simple yet impactful: 5% of every sale is donated to support vital marine initiatives. From 2023 through 2025, Sand + Salt proudly supported Ocean Conservancy, an organization with a strong track record of protecting our world’s oceans.
In September 2025, Sand + Salt shifted this commitment closer to home, choosing to support the New York Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC). Based on Long Island, NYMRC focuses on marine animal rescue, rehabilitation, and research, making a direct impact on the local waters and coastal communities that inspire Sand + Salt. This transition reflects Sand + Salt's mission to uplift local initiatives and give back to the very shorelines that shape our story in both Long Island and New England.
Why Ocean Conservation Matters
The oceans have shaped Sand + Salt; from Long Island roots to Southern California adventures, the sea has always been part of the brand’s story.
But the oceans and marine life face countless threats, from rising pollution levels to climate change. Supporting organizations like Ocean Conservancy and the New York Marine Rescue Center ensures that together we can protect delicate ecosystems, rehabilitate threatened species, and preserve the magic of the sea for generations to come.
How Sand + Salt Gives Back
Every time a purchase is made at Sand + Salt, 5% of the proceeds from every item sold is donated to ocean conservation efforts. Today, donations go directly to the New York Marine Rescue Center on a quarterly basis, supporting its mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and release marine animals, while educating the community about protecting local ecosystems.
Sand + Salt is not directly affiliated with the New York Marine Rescue Center or its programs, but has chosen to support this nonprofit in recognition of its vital role in marine rescue and conservation. Donations are made quarterly, ensuring that every purchase continues to make a difference.
Every Piece Counts
When choosing Sand + Salt, you are not only supporting ocean conservation but also helping ensure the health and sustainability of our oceans. Together, we can make lasting change. Every purchase, no matter how small, supports the future of our planet, and the coastal soul at the heart of Sand + Salt.
