Ocean Conservancy

Ocean Conservancy provides science-based solutions and policy advocacy to protect the ocean and the wildlife and communities that depend on it.

{"Donors and members of Ocean Conservancy","Volunteers and community partners","Government policymakers and public sector stakeholders","Coastal communities and regional leaders","Researchers, scientists, and educators"}

Integrated, multi-program approach that combines scientific research, policy advocacy, and large-scale community engagement (e.g., International Coastal Cleanup, Trash Free Seas, and fisheries initiatives) to drive systemic ocean protection.

Results and impact vary by program. Some initiatives (e.g., International Coastal Cleanup) are annual; policy outcomes depend on legislative and regulatory processes. Overall impact is ongoing and long-term rather than a one-time deployment.
