Impact for Oceans is an advocacy group working for the creation and enforcement of marine protected areas that are strategically positioned and scientifically proven to be high-impact zones in the United States. Our goals are to establish new marine protected areas in critical and diverse habitats, while strengthening protections in existing MPAs, to improve ecosystem health and restore populations.

Protecting marine ecosystems requires collaboration and dedication. By reducing barriers to action, building community, and sharing knowledge, Impact for Oceans is fighting for healthier oceans.

Our Pillars

Education: Understanding the issues we face and the solutions puts power back in the hands of citizens. We can’t speak up until we understand. Impact for Oceans shares current events and new findings within the US and beyond, so you can make your voice heard.

Community Building: Finding your community of marine conservation advocates will amplify your message and create a network that allows you to grow as an advocate.

Working with Representatives: Impact for Oceans reduces your barriers to action and supports you in your communications with representatives. It can be overwhelming to navigate the volatile world of environmental policy, but we are here to help so you can speak up for the causes you care about.
