Break Free From Plastic Pollution

Tell Congress to support the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act! This bill reduces plastic pollution at the source and builds on the actions of cities and states across the U.S. by phasing out unnecessary single-use plastic products, putting a moratorium on new and expanded plastic production facilities, and holding companies accountable for their plastic waste.

Uniting Boaters to Protect the Ocean

Sailors for the Sea Powered by Oceana is the world’s leading ocean conservation organization that engages, educates and activates the sailing and boating community toward restoring ocean health.

Boaters see firsthand many of the issues that our oceans face, from pollution which fouls their playground, to overfishing and habitat destruction, which threaten marine life and the source of food for billions of people around the world. Through our solution-oriented programs, we unite a core constituency of sailors and boaters, nearly 12 million strong, whose support helps to win victories to save the world’s oceans.
