The foundation will grant scholarships to teenagers with a passion for the ocean and give them the chance to work with the Montery Bay Aquarium.
The Fast and Furious star studied marine biology and spent most of his free time in the ocean, a statement on the foundation’s website reads.
"Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions," she wrote on Instagram.
"His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill.
"I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I want to share that part of him with others."
Walker died in a car crash in 2013. He was the passenger in a Porsche which a friend was driving when it hit a pole and burst into flames.
