Clean Ocean Action

Who We Are

Under the guidance of COA's Board of Trustees COA's staff researches pollution issues affecting the marine environment then formulates policy and campaigns to eliminate each pollution source. The staff then coordinates and organizes the Ocean Wavemakers (Participating Organizations Concerned Businesses Educators for a Clean Ocean and Concerned Citizens) to use their individual experience and expertise to help. Press events rallies writing letters making phone calls testifying at public hearings and distributing literature are just some of the ways members of the coalition become involved. With eight ocean dumpsites closed powerful new clean water laws on the books and a greater public awareness of the ocean and its improved health it's clear the system works.
