SEA provides trained docents (wildlife interpreters) to visitors, schools and civic groups in meeting its primary mission of education regarding shoreline habitats and the wildlife along the southern Oregon coast. In addition to the schools and civic groups in 2011, SEA had about 18,000 visitor contacts at Coquille Point and Simpson Reef during the summer season.

SEA has been adopted as a Friends Group of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and works closely with them in support of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology has been a mainstay in support of SEA since its inception.
