From everyone here at Ocean Champions, we’d like to thank all of our Ocean Champs that supported this important ocean legislation in pushing it through the first crucial stage. Now, our work must continue to get the bill past the full committee and onto the House and Senate.

Hey Champs! We’re on YouTube!

Watch Rep. Sam Farr and David Wilmot, Ph.D., President of Ocean Champions, discuss nuances to OCEANS-21 and an easy way for you to help.

Currently, our oceans are managed under 140 laws implemented by 20 Federal agencies without a unifying, ecologically-driven vision to protect the overall health of the ocean. With OCEANS-21 we finally have that vision– Including mechanisms to ensure healthy ocean policy for everyone.
