We mobilize the International Coastal Cleanup - the world's largest volunteer effort to clean up waterways and the ocean. We research and share key details about what is trashing our ocean with the public, scientific community and decision-makers.

We recognize that real leadership means real cooperation between governments, businesses, scientists, policymakers, conservation organizations and citizen advocates. We seek to achieve this by advocating for improvement in quality and quantity of ocean research and monitoring, reform of ocean governance and planning for various ocean uses like fishing, fish farming, and other types of resource development. Thanks to improved management practices and restoration of nursery habitat, many of our nation's fisheries are producing sustainable yields that fuel a strong economy, support well-paying jobs, provide for ample recreational opportunities and supply Americans with healthy seafood. 5137447 1512215 Arctic Protection: Ocean Conservancy is working to help citizens and decision-makers alike understand what is at stake in the Arctic region of the United States, where oil drilling and climate change are increasing threats. We are advocating for science-based solutions to prevent reckless drilling and ensure that Arctic people and wildlife thrives and its waters remain healthy and clean. 1673019 500 Gulf of Mexico Restoration - Ocean conservancy has worked to promote a healthy Gulf for more than 20 years.
