Mission
Oceans Global is dedicated to helping individuals find peace of mind, maintain sobriety, and create healthy lifestyles through therapeutic water-based activities. Oceans Global was founded in part to celebrate the life of Kirk McNulty (1984-2014), who passed away of a drug overdose. Kirk was a world class waterman, surfer, brother, and son who was inspired by everything ocean. We are devoted to helping substance abusers form a similar bond with the ocean as a way to find a sense of purpose and to replace harmful habits with healthy and engaging water-based activities. A record 72,000 Americans overdosed in 2017 marking a nearly 10% increase from the previous year. Many of these overdoses occurred with individuals who had previously sought help to overcome their addictions. Roughly 9 out of 10 people coming out of residential recovery facilities are expected to relapse. These numbers make it clear that different approaches to post-rehabilitation treatments or care are necessary.
