Founder
Tea Zegarac-Pollock
The Ocean Mokum Foundation is a philanthropic organization that works to promote meaningful collaboration, education, and exploration of our oceans and the marine life within. Founded by Tea Zegarac Pollock, a molecular geneticist with a passion for science and exploration, the foundation is dedicated to preserving the beauty of our oceans.
The name ‘Mokum’ means “safe haven” in Hebrew, and Tea is passionate about making our oceans a safe haven for marine life and human exploration. She is an avid learner, and takes every opportunity to be involved with the projects Ocean Mokum supports.
