From Submarines to Sea Conservation: The Legacy of US Navy Vet Jim Paulk

From Submarines to Sea Conservation: The Legacy of US Navy Vet Jim Paulk

From submarines to saving the seas — how one Navy veteran turned his life’s mission toward protecting our oceans

This week on The ToosDay Crue, hosts Stephen and Jake welcome U.S. Navy Veteran Jim Paulk, a man whose life spans service beneath the waves, corporate leadership, and a lifelong mission to protect the ocean.

Born and raised in Brunswick, Georgia, Jim graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1957, serving as a submarine officer for 10 years (active and reserve). After a 26-year career at Procter & Gamble, Jim shifted course toward marine conservation, leading efforts to eliminate destructive gillnets from California, build artificial reefs, and raise white seabass for ocean release.

A writer, lecturer, and award-winning angler, Jim’s story is one of discipline, reinvention, and service — from the deep sea to the community shore.
