Policy Campaigns

Offering our digital community to campaign coalitions, we work to advance ocean policy related to climate financing, large-scale marine protections, and stopping exploitative industries like drilling and deep sea mining.

We regularly engage in advocacy opportunities, including lobby days, community events, and calls to action that collectively advance ocean conservation goals.

We support local management and policy initiatives with strategic communications, including establishing a visitor green fee and supporting marine management of nearshore waters.
