CHOW Ocean

America’s history is maritime history. Our nation’s story is shaped by the ocean and the Great Lakes – rooted in exploration, innovation, and our evolving commitment to environmental stewardship.

Today, coastal communities are the anchors of America, serving as engines of opportunity and preserving our shared waters. As we sail into the future, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation honors the earliest stewards of our waters and charts the course for the next generation of wavemakers.

Capitol Hill Ocean Week celebrates 25 years as the Nation celebrates its 250th anniversary. Join us in this moment to launch bold breakthroughs, ignite discovery and secure waters for all.
