underserved and underrepresented communities. The new administration needs to recognize these truths and prioritize solutions. We have every reason to believe President Biden will do all he can to deliver on this issue. An editorial in The Washington Post (Sunday, November 29) called him “the climate change president” and challenged him to immediate action, saying “The United States has squandered too much time.” Ocean Conservancy was particularly heartened when, among his first appoint-ments, Biden tapped former Secretary of State John Kerry to be “climate czar” as part of the White House’s National Security Council. We worked closely with Secretary Kerry when he launched the first Our Ocean Conference in 2014 with over 90 nations attending and during his term as chair of the Arctic Council, the leading intergovern-mental forum on Arctic matters, comprised of the eight Arctic nations. In Kerry’s words in another Washington Post article (November 24, 2020): “The work we began with the Paris Agreement is far from done. I am returning to government to get America back on track to address the biggest challenge of this generation and those that will follow. The climate crisis demands nothing less than all hands on deck.” PLASTIC POLLUTION: Each year, 11 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean on top of the estimated 150 million tons that currently circulate in marine environments. Recent science by Ocean Conservancy and our partners shows that
CLIMATE: Climate change is the greatest threat to our ocean, and we are at a pivotal time for action. We need swift, decisive policies that limit carbon emissions and support communities affected by sea level rise and increased storm events that plagued the country in 2020. Ocean-climate impacts disproportionately harm communities of color, Indigenous communities, poor communities and other historically
States as a leader in the fight against climate change and to make changes that bolster the health of the planet. They have been out front about limiting offshore oil and gas development, investing in the expansion of offshore wind and other alternative energy sources and cutting back on emissions of greenhouse gases, including in the shipping sector — all important tenets of Ocean Conservancy’s ocean agenda. As the new administration moves ahead, we encourage them to focus on mitigating threats to our ocean by taking action on climate, reducing plastic pollution, protecting the Arctic and more.
Each time we’ve been ready — generating our ocean agenda months before the January 20th inauguration. Throughout these
administrations, Ocean Conservancy has worked on both sides of the aisle, calling for decisions that bolster ocean health and defending against measures that can harm it. While changes in leadership abound, our mission on behalf of the ocean stays constant: creating science-based solutions for a healthy ocean and the wildlife and communities that depend upon it. Both President Biden and Vice President Harris have spoken of their commitment to re-establish the United

2020ANNUAL REPORT
Even with all this, Ocean Conservancy was there for the ocean; we did not waiver. And you were there for Ocean
Conservancy — from petitions to decision-makers, cleanup efforts through the virtual International Coastal Cleanup and, of course, financial support. These actions made our year amazingly successful, despite the challenges we faced. As the chair of the Board of Directors, I’m proud to say that Ocean Conservancy hardly missed a beat. Working from home around the country, our staff still accomplished so much. In our cover story, you’ll read about our robust ocean agenda in anticipation of the new administration. We’re
heartened to see climate change, the single greatest threat to our planet, emerge as a top priority with the new administration. We’ll hold their feet to the fire, along with Congress, to do what’s best to support our ocean on all fronts. And in the center section, you’ll find many accomplishments — from efforts at home and abroad to mitigate climate change and reduce plastic pollution to improvements in fisheries management challenged by a warming ocean, to advancements in shipping measures in the Arctic’s thawing waters, to the launch of our “Shores Forward” initiative in Florida to protect from rising sea levels due to climate change. You’ll read of these successes and more amidst a challenging year.
WELCOME
Now, in 2021, Ocean Conservancy is more committed than ever to bold and ambitious ocean conservation. We cannot do it without you! Our Board of Directors, our CEO Janis Searles Jones and all of Ocean Conservancy thank you for your support in 2020 and ask you to stand with us again in 2021.
Best regards,Suzanne Woolsey, ChairOcean Conservancy Board of Directors

the U.S. is one of the top three polluters in the world when it comes to ocean plastic. One of our major objectives with the Biden administration is that they recognize the threat plastics, particularly unnecessary, single-use items, pose to our ocean and our communities and that they work to implement policies that reduce plastic production and keep plastics off our beaches and out of our ocean.
ARCTIC PROTECTION: The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. The impacts are far-reaching for Indigenous people in the region and their coastal communities, and poten-tially devastating for Arctic marine ecosystems and their uniquely adapted wildlife. As Arctic ice melts, we’re facing new threats, including more vessel
traffic, pressure for off-shore drilling, industrial fishing fleets moving north and risks of devastating oil spills. We are encouraging the Biden adminis-tration to be an outspoken advocate for the Arctic; the next four years will be crucial to protect this important ecosystem and the communities that rely upon it.
Our list of objectives on behalf of the ocean does not end here. We will advocate for strong policies around overfishing, smart ocean planning, ecosystem and ocean wildlife protection and more. We’ll advocate for robust budgets for ocean science and research. We hope we can count on you, our partners and supporters, to join us. Now let’s get on with it!

THANK YOUFOR ALL YOU DO TO HELP US SECURE A HEALTHY OCEAN FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
Here are some examples of what we accomplished this year — without your support, they would not have been possible.
FLORIDA STATE INITIATIVE
Building an Ocean Groundswell■ With Miami as inaugural partner,
launched our “Shores Forward” initiative — a series of partnerships with local governments across Florida to protect the health of the state’s ocean and coasts.
■ Provided expert guidance on development of the Florida Ocean Plan commissioned by Governor DeSantis to ensure thoughtful management of Florida’s marine environ-ment, and actively participated in the Governor’s state-wide task forces on harmful algal blooms to help inform state-level water quality reforms related to ocean-climate change.
■ Became the first national ocean partner for a Super Bowl, resulting in eliminating 2.7 million single-use plastic items from Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium and uniting with NFL players to remove 54 tons of trash from Florida’s beaches. We also shined a spotlight on ocean conservation with our booth that attracted 50,000+ visitors and coverage in prominent media outlets reached millions more.
■ Expanded our partnerships in Florida including with the Everglades Foundation to protect Florida Bay, Sachamama to support empowering Latino communities to act on climate change, and Dream-in-Green to develop ocean-related lesson plans for Miami-area schools.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Protecting the Ocean in the Halls of Power■ Joined a broad coalition in suing the
Council on Environmental Quality over a rewrite of federal regulations that undermine the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law.
■ Helped win passage of two new laws. The Save Our Seas Act 2.0 includes funds to support marine debris prevention and recycling to combat ocean plastics. And the creation of a permanent Ocean Policy Committee at the White House ensures ocean science will be used to address climate change, marine conservation and coastal resilience.
■ Successfully advocated a $150 million+ increase in the FY21 NOAA budget, mobilizing critical support from stake-holders to support ocean conservation. Examples of wins in the final funding package:
● NOAA’s marquee climate research programs received a 7% funding boost to $182 million.
● The Ocean Acidification Program secured an additional $1.5 million for research and monitoring, for a total of $15.5 million.
● Regional Ocean Data Portals were funded at $2.5 million, offering publicly available information to better manage ocean resources and protect our marine ecosystems.
ARCTIC CONSERVATION
Protecting Our Northern Seas for Arctic People and Wildlife The Arctic continues warming faster than anywhere else on the planet. Thus, in 2020, we sustained our initiatives to maintain ecosystem resilience:
● Continued our fight against oil and gas development in the Arctic — and the U.S. Arctic Ocean remained closed to oil and gas drilling.
● Advanced next-generation shipping measures to protect the Arctic. Our report on the at-sea transfer of oil catalyzed a set of standardized best practices that will help prevent oil spills. Our primer on e-navigation explained how new and emerging communications and navigational technologies, which transmit data in real time, can help protect the marine environment and advance safety in the Arctic’s remote and dangerous waters.
● Furthered climate-ready fisheries management in the Bering Sea, maintained key habitat protections and precautionary commercial fisheries closures in the U.S. Arctic, and worked to ensure the Central Arctic Ocean fisheries agreement is implemented.
SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES
Defending the Integrity of Our Nation’s Fisheries Law and Driving Innovation■ Recruited a cadre of fishers to serve as
“port ambassadors” to help facilitate adoption of a new electronic logbook program in the Gulf of Mexico to improve fisheries management. This program will enable charter captains to accurately and quickly record their catch using devices like smartphones.
■ Supported inclusion of pioneering approaches to create climate-ready fisheries on the U.S. West Coast, and advanced national policies to help prepare fisheries for changing ocean conditions.
■ With Ocean Conservancy’s urging and support, California has revamped its fisheries management system to make it more effective — putting the spotlight on keeping fisheries, as well as the ecosystem, healthy while addressing climate change.
■ Adapted POSEIDON, our fisheries policy simulation tool, to operate in places where fishing data is limited, such as Indonesia’s deep-water snapper fishery. By applying this new method, we can overcome data gaps to assess options for sustainably managing fisheries and supporting the livelihoods of local fishers.
OCEAN-CLIMATE CHANGE
Bringing the Power of the Ocean to the Global Fight Against Climate Change■ Launched a campaign to reduce green-
house gas emissions from global ship-ping — focusing both on immediate reductions and pathways to full decar-bonization. At a U.N. Climate Week event, we released a report that makes the case for widespread adoption of green electrofuels to transition to a zero-carbon future.
■ Advanced ocean-climate priorities in the U.S. and globally. We launched an ocean-climate “playbook” for domestic policy; supported the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act from the House Natural Resources Committee; hosted high-level events and strategy sessions for countries to promote ocean solu-tions in the lead up to Paris Climate negotiations; advanced the work of our ambition coalition, the Pacific Rim Ocean-Climate Action Partnership; and created in-depth briefs on pressing issues, from climate-smart marine protected areas to deep-sea mining.
■ Welcomed Roger Arliner Young (RAY) Marine Conservation Diversity Fellow, Olivia Lopez, who is using her passion for environmental justice to partner with underserved coastal populations especially vulnerable to climate change. She works alongside our other RAY fellows, Alliyah Lusuegro (on fisheries) and Rozette De Castro (on ocean plastics).
TRASH FREE SEAS®
Leading the Fight Against Ocean Plastic Debris■ Co-published a study in the journal
Science Advances that revealed the U.S. ranks as high as third among countries contributing to ocean plastic pollution. These findings show we must advance policies to eliminate unnecessary single-use plastics, while also ensuring respon-sible waste management is in place to manage the remainder of the waste stream in all communities, both domestically and abroad.
■ Commenced our first cohort of Urban Ocean cities in Asia and Latin America to develop, share and scale solutions to the ocean plastics crisis.
■ Partnered with local organization in Vietnam to deploy innovative, locally constructed devices to capture and remove trash along the Song Hong (Red River) in the province of Nam Dinh — the heart of the Red River Delta World Biosphere Reserve.
■ Expanded efforts to address lost and abandoned fishing gear, the deadliest form of marine debris, by adding 20+ new members, including the U.S. government, to the Global Ghost Gear Initiative® (GGGI).
