Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2022<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\"\"<\/p>\n

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation returned in person, with a hybrid offering, for Capitol Hill Ocean Week on June 7-9, 2022.\u00a0 Sea: the Future <\/em>celebrated\u00a0the 50 years of progress achieved and to set a course for the new policies and actions necessary to transform our future<\/p>\n

In 1972, the United States enacted a wave of legislation\u2014the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act and amendments to the Clean Water Act\u2014to sustain our ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes.<\/p>\n

Today, 50 years later, we face new challenges. Climate change and biodiversity loss are fundamentally changing our ocean and Great Lakes. Coastal development increases pressures on ecosystems and communities. Multiple demands on resources and space lead to challenging policy and regulatory questions regarding how to best manage uses and sustain livelihoods. At the same time, coastal communities face a multitude of other issues, including migration and displacement, loss of culture, and ensuring equitable access to nature and resources.<\/p>\n

These challenges all share a common solution: people.<\/p>\n

We are grateful to our generous sponsors, partners, and all our participants. It is with your collaboration and support that Capitol Hill Ocean Week continues to be a success year after year.<\/p>\n
