VOTE FOR THE OCEAN
A healthy and resilient ocean depends on the decisions you make on your ballot. Use your vote to be the voice for our ocean that sustains diverse communities of people and wildlife!
Voting gives us the power to choose leaders who can make decisions to protect our ocean, our air and water, conserve the natural places and wildlife we love, and ensure our communities have a voice in the decision-making process.
Healthy communities depend on healthy oceans, coasts, lakes and rivers. By exercising your right to vote — all the way down the ballot, from national to local — you can help protect these special places, the people who depend on them and the animals that live in them.
Current plastic production, use, and disposal practices aren’t sustainable and cause significant harm to human health, the environment, and the economy, while driving deep societal injustices. We can solve this problem, and we need strong leadership from the international community – especially the United States – to reduce the amount of plastic produced at every stage of the plastic life cycle.
We can turn off the tap on plastic pollution - but we must take action now. On April 23, leaders from 175 countries are coming together to negotiate a landmark agreement to create the world’s first-ever Global Plastic Treaty, and we are asking you to.

exploring our changing oceans: Impacts and Response to Ocean Acidification in the U.S.A.
Exploring Our Changing Ocean: Impacts and Response to Ocean Acidification in the U.S.A. is a collaborative OA communications project between the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, the OA Alliance, and NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program.
The ocean has absorbed approximately 90% of excess heat and 25% of the carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere by humans. This increased carbon pollution has consequences for our ocean.
Working together, project partners are advancing communications about climate-ocean changes occurring regionally in the U.S. by presenting localized information on unique impacts, responses, and calls to action taking shape across the country.
By regionalizing information and storytelling, “Exploring Our Changing Ocean: Impacts and Response to OA” is supporting education, outreach and calls to action that associated aquarium partners and science institutions can utilize across their larger climate change narratives and outreach efforts.
