Actor and board chair of Oceana Sam Waterston (Law & Order) and Oceana board members Susan and David Rockefeller, Jr. join the 2022 College of the Atlantic Summer Institute: Our One and Only Ocean.
Oceana seeks to make our oceans more biodiverse and abundant by winning policy victories in the countries that govern much of the world’s marine life.
Oceana, founded in 2001, is the largest international advocacy organization focused solely on ocean conservation. Their offices around the world work together to win strategic, directed campaigns that achieve measurable outcomes that will help make our oceans more bio diverse and abundant.
Oceana was established by a group of leading foundations—The Pew Charitable Trusts, Oak Foundation, Marisla Foundation (formerly Homeland Foundation), Sandler Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund—after a 1999 study they commissioned discovered that less than 0.5 percent of all resources spent by environmental nonprofit groups in the United States went to ocean advocacy.
Since its founding, Oceana has won more than 225 victories and protected more than 4.5 million square miles of ocean.
