Ocean Champions is the only political voice for ocean health. We take a non-partisan approach in working with
the U.S. Congress to ensure ocean health through electoral and legislative action.

Action Center

Ocean Champions uses a combination of high-quality lobbying and electoral work to build political champions for the oceans. But your elected officials need to hear from you, too. Please help us forge a culture of leadership on the oceans by taking the following actions:

Take Action Against Toxic Tides & Harmful Algal Blooms

Toxic tides (HABs) like red tide are making people sick, killing marine life, and contaminating seafood. They also have a negative effect on tourism in coastal states, costing coastal communities an estimated $100 million each year (according to NOAA estimates). Ocean Champions has made the case that America needs a national strategy to address HABs. With your help, we can pass a law for just such a strategy. Take Action >>

"NO to Offshore Drilling - YES to Climate Bill!"

Ask President Obama to reestablish the moratorium on new offshore drilling, to lead a strong climate bill to passage and to establish a National Ocean Policy to ensure that all federal agencies take a stewardship view when considering ocean resources.
Take Action >>

Tell your Senators that we MUST pass a strong climate bill this year, and tell them that this bill MUST NOT include expanded offshore drilling. Take Action >>

OCEANS-21: ACT NOW to help move this important legislation forward!

OCEANS-21 (HR 21: Ocean Conservation, Education, & National Strategy for the 21st Century Act) was introduced by one of our Ocean Champions in Congress, Rep. Sam Farr (D-Ca, 17th). The bill would be the first comprehensive national oceans policy if passed. Take Action >>
