But this time with a plan: Project 2025. We must prepare for the rollbacks, reviews, and revocations coming our way. But it’s also imperative that we forge forward however possible toward the goals we had for a climate-friendly federal government. Because — Does this change our vision for the future we want to see for our kids, grandkids, or the several generations beyond? No. Does this change the need for trust and community in order to bring that future into existence? No. Does this change our hearts full of a future with safe, sustainable communities supported by a healthy, resilient ocean? No. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/05c6b8ae-1872-4d7c-ad01-6849c1326522/joinus2.png Take Action - JOIN US, THE OCEAN NEEDS YOU - So We will be here.

I’ve worked on issues ranging from food insecurity to education access to public safety. Over time, I’ve come to see how deeply connected those challenges are to our environment—because when nature is out of reach, so is health, opportunity, and healing. With the support of the Healthy Ocean Coalition, I recently led a Rising Ocean Justice Leaders event that brought nearly 25 students from Albany, Sylvester, Waycross—and yes, even Brunswick—to St. Simons Island for a day of learning, community, and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/4ece1c7d-28c5-4d66-b9b4-1078c40d8117/Group3.jpg Blog - Connecting Our future to the Ocean - For many, it was their first time standing barefoot in the sand or watching the tide roll in. But what began as a simple beach cleanup quickly became something more. The students asked questions about marine life. They shared stories about their neighborhoods. They began to understand that the health of the ocean isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a community one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/1750955012561-UK5XNKONUJMFHLVFDJYQ/IMG_9051.jpg Blog - Connecting Our future to the Ocean By the end of the day, they were creating colorful, heartfelt postcards to Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, calling for the protection of one of the ocean’s most extraordinary—and little-known—ecosystems right in their backyard: The Blake Plateau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/24f21d34-bdbb-405d-ac17-f13da91baaeb/Kiddo1.jpg Blog - Connecting Our future to the Ocean - That’s the intersection where the Healthy Ocean Coalition does its work: where access and protection meet. They don’t just advocate for the ocean. They help communities build power to protect it. I saw young people step into their power—speaking up not just for the ocean, but for their right to be part of the decisions that shape it. That’s what ocean justice looks like. https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/blog/catastrophic-and-illegal-funding-freeze monthly 0.5 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/1738161056675-CWU9AM2IEXKL2S69IM45/OMB+Action+INSTA+POST2.png Blog - executive power grabs and destructive actions Determining whether or not the lawfully appropriated funds get disbursed is NOT the President’s job, nor is it even within the purview of the Executive Branch. It seems like the Trump Administration (and some members of the U.S. House and Senate) might need to revisit their civics class to learn the powers instilled each branch of government. Now, this isn’t to make light of an incredibly serious attempt at an attempt to grab power from Congress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/1738161132083-G3H0WK686FZCY8KN98LD/defend+our+ocean.png Blog - executive power grabs and destructive actions This action in any other administration would be considered “beyond the pale” but this is going to be the kind of stunt they pull to dismantle the federal government for the next four years. While we need to choose our battles, these first wave of actions deserve our public condemnation and ire. Our job at the HOC is to protect our member organizations who are committed to ocean and climate justice, defend the progress we’ve made, and push ahead at at any level of government that still has good sense. We are going to need all the support we can get. We hope you will join us in our advocacy efforts.

Probably feeling a sense of deja vu. The second Trump administration has begun. But this time an administration with a plan - with a capital P - Project 2025. Trump planned to win this election, unlike last time, which makes this Administration much more coherent and dangerous. So in one respect, it’s back to 2017 for our country - which implicates everything from his abhorrent racism to climate denial. It means digging trenches to fight for social and environmental issues. Digging in our heels to hold onto what we’ve built since he last left office and prepare ourselves for the rollbacks, reviews, and revocations. But it’s also imperative that we forge forward. Thinking ahead toward all the goals we had for positive, affirmative, ocean conservation policy. Are they by large achievable now? Honestly? Probably not in a cohesive nature at the federal level. BUT: Does this change our vision for the future we want to see for our kids, grandkids, or the several generations beyond? No. Does this change the need for trust and community in order to bring that future into existence? No. Does this change our work toward a future with safe, sustainable communities supported by a healthy, resilient ocean? No. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/05c6b8ae-1872-4d7c-ad01-6849c1326522/joinus2.png Blog - back again, but also forging forward - We will be here.

As leader of the Healthy Ocean Coalition, I too am thinking about our home - the one we all share - planet Earth. I am thinking about how our planet - and all its inhabitants - rely on the global ocean, which covers over seventy percent of Earth. We rely on a healthy ocean for oxygen, food, climate regulation, jobs, recreation, and even joy. Whether we live among cornfields or a shoreline, we are all connected to the ocean. Our health requires its health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/7d557b1c-6229-4d36-9339-da39c0dea6de/hoc+sav.jpg Blog - AN APPEAL FOR THE OCEAN - We need to raise $50,000 to sustain our highly successful Healthy Ocean Advocacy Academy.

Failure to effectively protect lands and waters globally will put more than 1 million plants and animals at risk of extinction, many within decades. In 2021, the Biden administration set a national goal to “conserve, connect, and restore” at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030 through the Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad and the America the Beautiful initiative, sometimes referred to as 30×30. The administration promised to address biodiversity loss, the climate crisis, and the lack of access to natural resources with an all-of-government approach. With the recent release of its American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas, the administration details how one-third of the ocean is conserved through a combination of marine protected areas, fisheries measures that protect deep-sea corals, and the Arctic Management Area. https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/blog/nepa-gets-a-21st-century-refresh monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/blog/ocean-climate-action-plan-turns-one monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/1711052223378-ZV5PKWPAZ7EFNNUNO6A6/OCAP+Year+1.png Blog -

COMMUNITY CENTERED CAPACITY-BUILDING - The HOAA means community. With relationship building, trainings are more effective and drive more change, both internally for the participants and externally for the field of ocean conservation and ocean justice. We want folks who come together to feel a connection among their peers, a sense of camaraderie. That is the environment we try to build before, during, and after someone participates in an HOC training. We do that through virtual meetings before a training and community-building dinners during the training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/d33b049f-587e-46e8-8e8a-a588541d4a11/HOC+training.jpg Blog - COMMUNITY CENTERED CAPACITY-BUILDING - The HOAA centers experience. By experience we mean we center our participants’ lived experiences, the nuances of their backgrounds. We create an overarching goal centering ocean conservation and ocean justice for the training cohort, but we help each participant weave their own personal narrative around their “why” and “how” to achieve the goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/62565e50-18e5-4d0d-be19-57d65627d74f/HOAA+3.jpg Blog - COMMUNITY CENTERED CAPACITY-BUILDING - The HOAA values local partnership. Working with local experts and amplifying voices from local communities are incredibly important components of our Academies. We co-host with a local HOC organization and ensure participants can form a regional cohort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/09474cf8-a48d-40e9-a988-93e134e536e9/HOAA1.jpg Blog - COMMUNITY CENTERED CAPACITY-BUILDING - The HOAA broadens ocean conservation. The HOAA’s ultimate goal is to help expand the voices of those who feel tied to the ocean and see themselves as advocates for their communities and the ocean. The ocean is the key to combatting the climate crisis and the attending crisis humanity will shortly find ourselves in should we not drastically change how we relate to nature and each other. Our hope is that the HOAA can play a role in broadening and building the ocean conservation community with every new HOAA voice. https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/blog/hoc-goes-to-dc monthly 0.5 2023-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/a1e37ce1-edbd-499c-8f16-8e351051b1a5/CHOW1.png Blog - RECAP: The HOC Goes to DC - Meet the HOC Capitol Hill Ocean Week Team!

She then invited the neighborhood to come and check out the art, to help create some community around the importance of ending fossil fuel subsidies, bankrolling the climate catastrophe, and how their community can show up in this fight. So far, it has spurred conversations with several neighbors about this art and how they themselves can create a ripple effect by sharing this work. https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/blog/climate-contradictions monthly 0.5 2023-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/eaa65e3d-975f-4894-96b6-f1d0b413881c/jordan-steranka-smamll-unsplash.jpg Blog - BIDEN’S CLIMATE contradictions - ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TODAY!

Equal access to abortion care—everywhere—is essential for social and economic equality, reproductive autonomy, and the right to determine our own lives. https://actforwomen.org/take-action/ Just last month the Senate voted whether to advance consideration of the Women’s Health Protection Act. The vote was along party lines With Sen Manchin voting with Republicans to not move the bill forward. This is the list of how each Senator voted in May. Did your Senator vote against it? Call them.

We Believe ● We are stronger and more influential together in advocating for the necessary immediate change needed to mitigate the harm to the health of the ocean. ● We can develop equitable and just ocean conservation policy to dismantle the existing harms of climate change on the ocean and people. ● People care about the ocean, but many need access to information, opportunities for advocacy, or a network of support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/2a0a03b4-5244-4c85-b0ef-54a1eeac053d/Screenshot+2025-02-27+at+2.42.14%E2%80%AFPM.png What We Do - Our Approach We believe collaboration is key to ensuring ocean conservation policies in the United States are informed by and reflective of the people, regions, and wildlife they should serve. We work to remove barriers that keep people from becoming ocean advocates by providing relevant and timely information, building capacity to speak out for the ocean, and highlighting opportunities to engage with policymakers. We lift the work and voices of our community members to those in power and make advocacy for change more effective and efficient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/da63d558-32fe-4193-a580-f9a6ec66468e/Screenshot+2025-02-27+at+2.37.15%E2%80%AFPM.png What We Do - community-based ocean conservation movement building The Healthy Ocean Advocacy Academy supports increasing the breadth of the conservation movement through advocacy skill building and local community building. https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/terms-of-use-privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-02-22 https://www.healthyoceancoalition.org/healthy-ocean-advocacy-academy daily 0.75 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/5a7dffb4-38c3-46dd-907e-0d6d3cab8c68/Screen-Shot-2022-02-08-at-12.01.37-AM.png Healthy Ocean Advocacy Academy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61afe79953f0db78c0b3d348/d33b049f-587e-46e8-8e8a-a588541d4a11/HOC+training.jpg Healthy Ocean Advocacy Academy - Make it stand out We hosted our first Academy back in person this past May in Savannah, Georgia.
