About the saltbloom project

the saltbloom project is a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to protecting seagrass meadows and the marine ecosystems they support. Founded and run by high school student and ocean ambassador Molly Dixon, saltbloom blends science, storytelling, and action to raise awareness about one of the ocean’s most vital and overlooked habitats.

We believe in accessible education, community involvement, and the power of young people to lead meaningful environmental change.

We focus on creative, local solutions to protect and restore seagrass ecosystems:

• Educating communities through zines, school programs, and public outreach
• Advocating for simple practices like using propeller guards and reducing fertilizer runoff
• Partnering with local groups to support restoration and responsible recreation

Our work begins in the Bay Area, but our message travels wherever the tides reach.
