About Us

Ocean Champions Voter Fund raises the profile of oceans as a political issue by using issue advocacy to create a political environment where protecting and restoring the oceans is a priority of federal and state governments.

Ocean Champions Voter Fund focuses on segments of the population that no other political organization has targeted: ocean users such as divers, surfers, sailors, and recreational fishermen, as well as other groups that directly benefit from their connection to the ocean such as the tourist industry, outfitters, boat manufacturers, etc.

These groups of individuals are typically not reached by traditional environmental voter initiatives and remain a largely untapped constituency with potentially great political power.
