How 'Peace of the Ocean' came to be...
Peace of the Ocean Organization was founded by Bobbie Jo Horkman- an island girl by heart living inland.
Born and raised along the Great Lakes, Bobbie Jo always had a deep passion for the water.
Her life thus far has kept her inland, but none the less her passion for the ocean continues to grow. In 2001 she developed
Kapa Kai® Therapy- The Original SeaShell Therapy™, which combines her passion for the sea into her
healing work (you can see more information at: kapakaitherapy.com.)
Wanting to make even more of a difference, she was continuously seeking for organizations that helped the oceans and the life therein. Researching many amazing foundations, Bobbie Jo realized that most of the events or volunteering available were located by that particular piece of the ocean. Being so far inland, and wishing she could be there contributing her time and experiencing the impact, she came to a realization. We are all a 'piece' of the ocean. All water is connected. We are all one. From this thought, 'Peace of the Ocean' was formed. Coincidently, it was founded on June 8, 2009: World Oceans Day.
The purpose of this organization is awareness and opportunity. Building awareness of how connected everything is, awarness of how things are impacted, and opportunity for everyone with this awareness to make a difference, no matter where you are.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
