For more than 40 years, Ocean Conservancy has championed
science-based solutions to the greatest challenges facing the
ocean. With the support and advocacy efforts of our members
and conservation partners, Ocean Conservancy has played a key
leadership role in winning many victories on behalf of the ocean.
To cite a few, these victories include: securing significant
improvements
to our nation’s fisheries manage-ment law while rebuilding
vitally important fisheries;
establishing along the coast of California the nation’s only
network of marine protected areas;
protecting the ocean’s vast array of wildlife—sea turtles,
whales, dolphins and others—whose well-being has been jeopardized
and habitats compromised;
hosting the largest global volun-teer effort annually to rid the
ocean and other waterways of dangerous and unsightly trash; and
leading the charge for comprehen-sive restoration in the Gulf of
Mexico following the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
Soon after taking the helm of the organization in February 2013,
President and CEO Andreas Merkl kicked off a strategic effort to
assess where we are now as an ocean conservation organization and
where we should direct our efforts to achieve the most conservation
impact going forward. We looked at the major forces affecting ocean
health, Ocean Conservancy’s own history, our strengths and
passions, and emerging issues—like climate change, ocean
acidification and melting Arctic wildlife habitats—that put
enormous stress on the ocean and its precious resources.
Our assessment revealed that our priorities are, indeed, the
right ones.
First and foremost, Ocean Conservancy is convinced that we can
achieve the greatest conservation gains by approaching conservation
holistically, taking into account a region’s economic stability and
human communities as well as its habitats, wildlife and the range
of stressors that harm ocean health. We apply this ecosystem
approach in the major places where we work and that our members
love.
Second, Ocean Conservancy designs and implements science-based
solutions to overcome the myriad threats facing the ocean, from
increased acidity levels caused by rising carbon
dioxide levels to proliferation of marine debris that
jeopardizes ocean life to the costly conflicts among ocean
activities that result from the lack of smart planning for our
ocean and coasts.
Our future efforts, like our current work, will be grounded in
these two priorities.
Our research during this planning process also revealed that the
enor-mous changes occurring in the ocean call for nimble, adaptive
solutions to meet the increasing challenges to ocean health. And
these changes are happening at the same time that technical,
analytical and scientific tools to aid conservation are becoming
more widely available.
Indeed, this moment presents an opportunity—and a great deal of
hope for ocean conservation—for Ocean Conservancy, in collaboration
with domestic and international partners, to strengthen our
conservation impact in the face of these changes. And to accomplish
those gains for the ocean, we will need the help, hard work and
support of Ocean Conservancy mem-bers and allies.
We will proceed judiciously in 2014 to incorporate new areas of
work into our current conservation agenda. For example, we will
expand our focus in the Arctic from a solely U.S. approach to one
that extends across the Arctic,
working to build an integrated approach to managing the
ecosystems and activities in Arctic seas. With the opening of
Arctic waters and the increased shipping that accompanies melting
ice—as well as the changes that follow the widening of the Panama
Canal—we will focus on the shipping risks that arise for the ocean,
identifying the hot spots of risk from shipping and determining how
best to mitigate them. We will bring our decades of fisheries
management experience to places beyond our national borders to
address ecologically destructive overfishing. And we will
accelerate our analysis of plastic pollution, which harms ocean
wildlife and habitats, with the goal of developing solutions to
reduce it.
The confluence of a rapidly changing ocean and an explosion in
demand for its natural resources, especially as the global
population continues to increase, mandates that Ocean Conservancy
redouble our efforts. New solutions are needed, and we will work
with colleagues and experts the world over to discover and
implement them.
As Ocean Conservancy moves forward to embrace this exciting
future, we are grateful for the continued support of our members
who make our work possible. We look forward to leading the way with
you as our partners.

WELCOME
As we look back on 2013, we are convinced that Ocean
Conservancy’s programs are stronger than ever as we continue to
make progress in rebuilding fish stocks, tackling marine debris and
combating emerging issues such as ocean acidification. We achieved
significant milestones this past year, thanks to supporters like
you who make our efforts possible and productive.
You helped us restrict oil and gas drilling in the fragile
Arctic. We persuaded states to take action on ocean planning and
ocean acidifica-tion. California’s marine protected areas are
already demonstrating their effectiveness—and are being embraced by
ocean enthusiasts throughout the state. Four years after the BP
Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, we are successfully advocating use
of restoration funds for projects that will lead to a healthier
Gulf of Mexico. You once again supported our International Coastal
Cleanup—the largest global
volunteer effort of its kind, and helped us use the Cleanup’s
monitoring protocol to protect endangered sea turtles from harm
caused by marine debris in their nesting habitats.
But all is not well in the ocean. Warmer and more acidic waters,
retreating ice levels, and tremendous pressure from fishing,
shipping and resource exploitation are stretching our current
management methods way beyond what they are designed to do. How do
we manage fisheries in an age when fish stocks are constantly
shifting in search of cooler waters? How do we manage supertanker
shipping through the newly ice-free “northern routes”? As the ocean
undergoes these types of systemic change, Ocean Conservancy needs
to lead the search for new solutions. Our scientists, fishery
management specialists, policy experts, advocates and economists
are determined to tackle these critical issues in the
years to come. We cannot do this alone—we need to build deep
global networks of technical leaders and decision-makers, we need
hosts of partners, and we need you.
The challenges in front of us are extraordinary, and we consider
ourselves extremely privileged to do the work that we do. The
problems can only be solved by working together, and we are
immensely grateful for your continued dedication in our fight for a
healthy ocean.

Helped launch the first two regional planning bodies to engage
decision-makers in smart ocean planningOcean Conservancy continues
to lead the marine conservation community in calling for sound,
coordinated planning for our ocean that balances competing uses
such as alternative energy, industrial activities and recreation.
Thanks to our efforts, the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regional
ocean councils held their inaugural meetings this year—an
indication of increasing commitment among federal, state and tribal
decision-makers to effective ocean and coastal management.
Moreover, we helped maintain previous levels of federal funding for
the issue—a significant achievement amid political pressure to
reduce overall federal spending.
Worked with partners to promote state action on ocean
acidification Our efforts to bring attention to the impacts ocean
acidification has on people, places and livelihoods achieved an
important milestone as Washington became the first state to adopt
an executive order mandating action. California followed by
creating a science panel to study ocean acidification, and
scientists from Oregon and Washington have agreed to join. Maine
also passed a resolution identifying acidification as a threat.
Ocean Conservancy produced videos about people impacted by ocean
acidification on the East and West coasts which we used to engage
decision-makers. We are building on this momentum by mobilizing
stakeholders and working with state leaders to demand further
action.
Successfully advocated for a halt to drilling operations in U.S.
Arctic watersBy highlighting Shell’s error- and problem-riddled
drilling efforts in 2012 and advocating significant reforms to
improve safety, Ocean Conservancy helped ensure that Shell
abandoned its plans to drill in U.S. Arctic waters in 2013. Two
other oil companies announced a suspension of their offshore
activities in the region until at least 2015. These developments
underscore our belief that the oil industry is not ready to drill
in the Arctic Ocean, and give us momentum as we seek protections
for the most ecologically vulnerable areas amid growing threats,
not only from industrial activity but also from climate change.
Produced a comprehensive atlas that provides a big-picture view
of the Gulf of Mexico in support of restoration effortsAs
restoration efforts continue in earnest following the BP Deepwater
Horizon oil disaster, Ocean Conservancy released The Gulf of Mexico
Ecosystem: A Coastal and Marine Atlas, which maps key habitats and
geographic features of the Gulf and highlights marine wildlife
critical to the ecoregion. The unique atlas, lauded by
decision-makers, helps guide our efforts as we advocate for use of
RESTORE Act funds toward comprehensive, science-based restoration
projects with emphasis on the marine environment on which many
local economies in the Gulf depend.

“ To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of
the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt
marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and
down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of
years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the
sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as
any earthly life can be.”
– Rachel Carson
