Scientists have extensively documented the impacts climate change is having on the ocean. As greenhouse gas emissions have increased, the ocean has become hotter, more acidic, and less habitable for fish and wildlife. But the ocean is not just a victim of climate change. It’s also a powerful source of solutions that have the potential to provide a fifth of the greenhouse gas emission reductions needed globally to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C.
The Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act of 2021 is a comprehensive and ambitious piece of legislation that leverages the ocean’s potential in the fight against climate change, and we need your help to move it forward.
Contact your members of Congress and ask them to support strong ocean climate action today!
