SDOF was founded in 1984 biased on the inspiration of Ronald Regan who proclaimed 1984 the Year of the Ocean. One major projects of SDOF in the past was the sinking of the Yukon. Currently SDOF is raising white sea bass working with Hubbs-Sea World and a number of other community related projects. Last year they started a collaborative fishery research program working with lobster fishermen to monitor the MPAs.
