The Ocean Conservancy (www.oceanconservancy.org) Through research, education, and advocacy, The Ocean Conservancy informs, inspires, and empowers people to act on behalf of the ocean. The Ocean Conservancy has four priorities: Protecting Marine Wildlife, Restoring Fisheries, Conserving Special Ocean Places, and Reforming Ocean Governance. From the Ocean Conservancy The Ocean Conservancy's four strategic priorities reflect the critical ocean conservation issues that will be the main focus of our efforts. Although we recognize that climate change will have significant impact on the ocean—including possible regime changes, rising sea levels, and accelerated coral bleaching—many other organizations are engaged in understanding and addressing climate change. We believe that we can make the most tangible contribution to ocean health by building on our historic accomplishments, strengths, and expertise.
