Ocean Conservancy is one of the world’s foremost advocates for the oceans. Through science-based advocacy, research, and public education, we inform, inspire and empower people to speak and act for the oceans. Headquartered in Washington, DC, we also have offices in Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific, and are supported by more than half a million members and volunteers.
Our Trash Free Seas program, with its International Coastal Cleanup, is the world’s leader in efforts to clean up our ocean and beaches, fostering environmental and recreational benefits. Our efforts to support healthy fisheries in the Gulf are only a part of our efforts to restore the ecological and economic vitality of the treasured area. Going forward, Ocean Conservancy will continue its legacy of nearly 40 years by advocating sound, practical policies to protect the seas and improve our lives.
