The Maristella Mission Promise

At Maristella Mission, we aim to "Make a Difference by Doing the Right Thing".

Maristella Mission is inspired by a teen entrepreneur to help conserve and explore our marine environment. Our organization is the coming together of a love of the ocean, love of comfy, cool, (preferably) long sleeve shirts, a father who was recycling carboard in a box in our kitchen when I was a toddler and a mom who was almost named Maristella, which means “star of the sea”.

Our Promise to YOU is to:

Make a Great Product - At Maristella Mission our base products are from vendors that specialize in producing eco-friendly apparel, primarily from organic cotton or recycled plastic. Our organic cotton products are made without the use of pesticides and will leave a minimal carbon footprint while biodegrading over time. While our products made from recycled material will help re-purpose materials (mostly plastic) that otherwise may end up in our oceans or landfills. In addition to an eco-friendly base product, our apparel is printed with eco-friendly dyes, such as water-based and soy based inks. If you're looking to support an eco-friendly cause, you'll want to avoid plastisol which is a plastic-based ink that requires harmful chemicals to set and clean. 

Make A Difference - At Maristella Mission, we believe it is important to "walk the walk". We've made several changes in our personal lives to lead more environmentally-friendly lives. We are also committed to participating in and sponsoring ocean related educational and service events. Join us for a clean-up day or an educational event! We'd love to sponsor an "Ocean Awareness" educational event at your school or for your scout troop!

Give Back - At Maristella Mission we are committed to giving back by donating 20% of our profits to organizations that support ocean conservation and exploration. 

Maristella is our mascot - she's probably a lot like you! Maristella is a “star of the sea” and advocate for our oceans. She is a loyal friend to all marine life. Her kindness and thoughtfulness know no bounds as she is a great team player who is always looking out for others before herself. She is humble, yet mighty and accomplishes great things through perseverance and diligence. 

Always do your best to shine brightly! If you love the ocean like we do and want to make a difference, please join our Team of STARS!
