Clean Ocean Action

Since 1984, Clean Ocean Action (COA) has worked and continues to work to stop ocean pollution in the US, specifically in the waters off the New Jersey and New York coast. This includes campaigns against identified source of pollution, and advocating for environmentally sound solutions. Their campaigns are aimed at reducing plastics, litter and toxins that pollute waterways and beaches and which affect marine life, protecting the coast from oil and gas drilling in the ocean, and raising awareness of the issues. It is a broad-based coalition of 125 active boating, business, community, conservation, diving, environmental, fishing, religious, service, student, surfing, and women's groups, known as "Ocean Wavemakers".
