  • Orca Conservancy is The Happy Seas main donation nonprofit - we currently donate each month to this amazing organization and are so thankful to be able to do so. To learn more about Orca Conservancy - click here.
  • We have donated to multiple ocean conservation nonprofits each month such as Orca Conservancy, Ocean Alliance, and Sea to Shore. To this day we have donated thousands to conservation, participated in countless beach cleanups and worked with some amazing conservation nonprofits to further our knowledge on ocean conservation, and help play our part.
  • We do everything we can as a company to talk the talk and walk the walk.
    We do our best to live clean, ethical lives, and that includes eating a sustainable diet (vegetarians) and shop with low-to-zero plastic (we love our metal straws, reusable shopping bags and our reusable cups!)

    • When packing boxes for shipment, we try to reuse the packaging we have from things being sent to us, or things given to us. We strive to use minimal packing materials or use recycled / repurposed supplies during our shipping process
    • All of our clear card slips are made from PLA plant plastic and certified compostable. 
    • The Happy Sea is a carbon offset brand. All of our order deliveries are carbon neutral. We’re sourcing offsets from the Acapa – Bajo Mira y Frontera Forest Conservation Project in Colombia through Pachama to counteract the emissions from shipping every order.

  • All of our apparel is manufactured in WRAP-certified facilities with newer, more efficient dye machines. We efficiently use 7x less water than average for clothing manufacturers: saving 24 million gallons a week...and that all gets recycled afterwards 
  • Our clothing facilities take every opportunity to reduce their co2 emissions through solar power, minimal electricity usage, recycling, no overseas shipping, W.R.A.P. certification and small, daily eco-friendly decisions that add up
  • WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) is a globally recognized independent non-profit organization dedicated to promoting safe, lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing through certification and education. Companies accepted into the WRAP organization go through an extensive application process that ensures that sewn products are being produced under lawful, humane and ethical condition.
  • All of our apparel is printed in a small screen printing shop located in Outer Banks, NC.
