Inland Ocean Coalition

The ocean is our planet’s life support system, and with its health in crisis, its protection can no longer be seen as solely a coastal issue. By engaging individuals and communities that want to be part of the solution, the IOC builds chapters, leads campaigns, and implements programs that protect our watersheds, climate, and ocean. Working on many levels—including through coalition building, direct action, education, community engagement, leadership development, and more—the IOC and its chapters are building community-based ocean conservation constituencies throughout the country.
