OCEANS-21 Can Build A Better Future For Our Oceans

Our oceans are in trouble.

Rampant overfishing is depleting ocean fish and mammal populations and pollution of all kinds is making our oceans sick. Ocean Champions has been working with our friends in Congress to develop a holistic solution to the many problems our oceans face and a new era of ocean conservation has now begun.

Rep. Sam Farr (D-Ca, 17th) (one of our Ocean Champions in Congress) has introduced OCEANS-21, a bill that adopts the key recommendations of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy and the Pew Oceans Commission to develop a holistic ocean health plan. This bill, unlike past ocean legislation, treats the disease, not the symptoms.

Please ask your Representative to co-sponsor this vital legislation and help us build a better future for our oceans.

OCEANS-21, if passed into law, would implement a comprehensive ecosystem-based management plan that addresses current and future ocean and coastal challenges, such as overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction.

Our Ocean Champions in Congress are working to make this solution a reality, but we need your help.

Please contact your Representative and ask them to cosponsor the OCEANS-21 bill and help us build a better future for our oceans!
