Current Campaign

Support Seawolf's Return to Protect Our Waters

Azul Marine Group has acquired the retired City of Oakland fireboat Seawolf and is relocating her to J&H Marine in Stockton, where restoration will begin to return the vessel to operational status. Once restored, Seawolf will support marine firefighting, search and rescue, interagency training, water quality testing, and levee and shoreline inspection work across the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Mokelumne Rivers.

Donations are collected through the organization's GoFundMe campaign.
