Bob BarkerSadly, Mr. Bob Barker passed away on August 26, 2023, at the age of 99.

Ocean Defenders Alliance (ODA) has a lot to be thankful for as Mr. Barker not only supported ODA generously in our operations through his foundation, but also granted a large donation to ODA that allowed us to purchase our 55-foot Chris Craft boat in 2014 that we use to this day.
