Founded by a group of fisherman, divers, and sailors, SBMM provides hands-on learning opportunities for all ages, delving into Santa Barbara’s robust maritime history while highlighting the important role of the Santa Barbara Channel in our region.
We could not do it without you! Your support allows us to celebrate more than 13,000 years of maritime history – from Chumash culture to today’s surfing and environmental movements.
